GE Healthcare and its partner Advanced Technology Company have been awarded by the Kuwait Ministry of
Health to support the expansion of Al Amiri Hospital as part of the Ministry’s strategic healthcare infrastructure
modernisation plan. The new partnership will provide a range of healthcare technologies, including CT and MR
devices, to improve diagnostic capabilities.
Technologies to be installed at Al Amiri include GE Healthcare’s Discovery PET/CT 710 - a hybrid imaging system
which combines PET, used to record molecular activity that is indicative of rapid tumour growth, with CT, which
focuses on anatomic location or the physical size of a tumour. The two images together provide both the
location of the tumour in the body and the molecular activity in the tumour.
