ROME--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Healthcare (NYSE:GE) today announced a donation to the Vatican foundation “The Good Samaritan”, created by Pope John Paul II and entrusted to Pontifical Council for Healthcare Workers, of ten Vscans, its latest ultrasound pocket-sized visualization tool. The ten Vscans will be destined for deployment in ten hospitals operating in the Northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has been afflicted by war and insecurity since 1996. Vscans will be particularly useful in providing visual information for the main diagnostic activities, and can allow physicians to help save innumerable human lives, as the ones of pregnant women, soon-to-be-born babies and elderly people affected by disease which, once they are identified, may potentially no longer have fatal/lethal outcomes.
