The Guatemala pilot sites in urban
Guatemala City and
rural Río Hondo provide essential healthcare technology to thousands of people in the communities served. They are designed to be models for the wider expansion of the WHITIA network throughout the clinics in need in urban and rural Guatemala. The system's specific design for Guatemala City is an integration of some of WHITIA's partners' strengths and generosity: •
SEDECAL provides the X-ray generator and controls •
Carestream Health donates the
computed radiography (CR) digital scanner and plates •
Kane X-ray donates personnel to perform installation and set up of the CR and
PACS This project was largely funded by several US and Guatemalan
Rotary clubs along with the key resource support of the Guatemalan municipal and national governments. == References ==
