As GE Healthcare prepares to spinoff on January 4, be sure to follow them to get the latest news on how they’re enabling precision care for patients around the world.
Netcare 911 helicopter emergency medical service [HEMS] and fixed wing aircraft fleet will be the first emergency medical services provider in South Africa to use the Vscan™ Air for trauma and cardiac emergencies countrywide. This wireless, pocket-sized ultrasound device provides exceptionally clear image quality, whole-body scanning capabilities, and intuitive software – all in the palm of the clinician’s hand. The versatility and ease of use of the Vscan™ Air device is extending the frontiers of pre-hospital management by enhancing the physical examination of patients, accelerating diagnoses, and helping caregivers triage patients, in the air and out in the field.
Manufactured by GE Healthcare and supplied by Ecomed Medical (Pty) Ltd in South Africa the Vscan Air™ is just one example of how technology and innovation coming together can drive better patient outcomes at the point of care.

GE Healthcare is proud to announce that Netcare911 has added the Vscan™ Air to its best in class technology capabilities. This wireless, pocket-sized high performance ultrasound machine manufactured by GE Healthcare and supplied by Ecomed Medical in South Africa, is highly practical as it is small enough for use in the confined space during an emergency flight, as well as being durability tested to military drop standards – providing clinicians with quick insights at the point of care and at a time they need it most.
13/12/2022
Earlier today Netcare911 announced at a launch event at NAC Helicopter Operations in Midrand, that their helicopter emergency medical service [HEMS] and fixed wing aircraft fleet will be the first emergency medical services provider in South Africa to use GE Healthcare’s Vscan™ Air for trauma and cardiac emergencies countrywide. The handheld ultrasound technology is also being deployed to Netcare 911’s critical care ambulances based in Gauteng.
As a long-standing supplier to Netcare 911, Medical (authorised distributor for GE Healthcare Ultrasounds) demonstrated the Vscan™ Air as the latest wireless ultrasound device to Netcare 911 who immediately recognised the lifesaving value of this technology.

Earlier today Eyong Ebai, GM SSA and Marlon Burgess, Country Manager at GE Healthcare South Africa hosted a roundtable conversation with Healthcare UK on their experience in implementing a national health system.
Healthcare UK is a joint initiative of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Department for International Trade (DIT), so they’re ideally placed to share the successes and failures of their healthcare journey with us as we prepare to launch the scheme in SA.
Some of the key learnings shared:
:
* The way we train, educate and upskill our healthcare workforce along with integrated workforce planning is critical for long term impact and a high-quality healthcare system.
* Create enablers that facilitate using the right skills at the right time for the right treatment.
* Help GPs to use clinical assistance.
:
* Digital medicine and the use of digital technologies like virtual consultations will result in huge cost savings.
* Innovation is not going to come from copying – it will come from learning and adapting to the local environment.
:
* Central procurement can work with the right structures and controls in place.
* Fast track infrastructure to reach people where they are.
* Separate chronic care from wellness.
* NHI implementation must be bespoke and needs to adapt regionally and locally.
:
* Partnering with academia to improve efficiencies to help the system cope with the lack of resources.
* Learn from and maximise the positives that came out of the private public partnerships that were forged during COVID.
* The pandemic highlighted that peer-to-peer partnerships across countries, across institutions and governments is key.
