Altri and The Navigator Company donated digital radiology equipment to the District Hospital of Figueira da Foz, which will allow radiographs to be taken on infected patients, thus reducing the time for diagnosis and reducing the risk of infection, which is high in patients with Coronavirus.

This new equipment allows the District Hospital of Figueira da Foz to stop having to move infected patients to the radiology service, thus avoiding contamination that can cause infections.

The new X-ray, a state-of-the-art portable digital device, allows to reduce the repetitions of the exams, substantially lowering the radiation doses received by the patients, and immediately makes the images available to clinicians, contributing to a faster and more effective decision making, helping to reduce operating costs and provide better care to patients.
