At Open Diagnostics, we are proud to operate our own Xray equipment, designed to be robust and reliable in every environment.
Our approach: providing access to primary radiology services to the underserved communities.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO): ‘half to two-thirds of the world’s population does not have adequate access to basic imaging technologies‘. It is our ambition to enable Xray diagnostics access where it is needed most.
By creating a uniquely robust Xray device and placing it inside accessible diagnostic centers close to underserved populations, we are increasing access to diagnostic imaging. Our radiology services complement primary healthcare services offered by General Practioners and Primary Healthcare Clinics operating in urban, semi-urban and rural areas.
Engineered to work anywhere in the world
The state-of-the-art Cristalix-T1 Xray system, with its intuitive user interface, has been engineered to operate reliably in challenging environments. This is important for South Africa, where loadshedding is a common occurrence.
Open Diagnostics centers use the uniquely robust and universal Xray system developed by Pristem that is not affected by loadshedding and guarantees continuous operations for up to 3 hours.
Patient experience at the forefront
Open Diagnostics network of world-class Xray diagnostic centers for primary healthcare and diseases screening are situated within communities where access is most needed.
Our patient experience approach is delivered through:
Placing ourselves inside communities, ensuring rapid turnaround of diagnostic reports which minimises waiting time for both the patient and the treating General Practitioner or Nurse.
A pricing policy that has been designed for all South Africans to access affordable Xray services in their communities.
An approachable patient-centric healthcare center where all people are given the same treatment and access to Xray diagnostics. Our trained staff are from local communities. They are skilled to engage, connect and support patients.
