Sectra Norge AS signs a contract of NOK 4.5 million (approx. 576,000 USD;
549,000 EUR) with Namdal Hospital in Namsos, Norway. The contract comprises a
Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for the extension of the
digital radiology department at the hospital to become a film free operation.
"I'm very satisfied with the choice, as an already established cooperation
can proceed in the new millenium", says Department director Claes-Göran
Lönnroth, MD. Lönnroth also forsees an extended cooperation between the
hospitals in the region, as the new digital department will be connected to
the regional health network.
"We are especially happy to be awarded this contract, as it shows that good
relations and creative cooperation create trust between vendor and customer",
says Managing Director of Sectra Norge AS, Åge Sjåfjell.
