Oceania Hospital Invests $4.3million for MRI Machine
It improves the quality of healthcare, more importantly it brings to the country and the level of health care options that are available anywhere in the world
Oceania Hospital has enhanced its level of service with this installment of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine which cost $4.3million.
MRI machines are particularly well suited to image the non-bony parts or soft tissues of the body, where the brain, spinal cord and nerves, as well as muscles, ligaments, and tendons are seen much more clearly with MRI than with regular x-rays.

Oceania Hospital chief executive officer, Murgessan Pillay, commended stakeholders, board members, management body of the hospital and people who had used their services for allowing the hospital to make the installment a reality.
Mr Pillay said the MRI machine would now allow for a basic service that was quality and worthwhile.

“It improves the quality of healthcare, more importantly it brings to the country and the level of health care options that are available anywhere in the world,” Mr Pillay said.
“We are proud to be able to do this as a service to our people and from the region.”
The MRI machine was supplied by a German medical company, Siemens Healthineers.
Mr Pillay highlighted that having an MRI facility was part of expanding diagnostics service in the hospital.
“This is the most ambitious single project that we’ve had,” Mr Pillay said.
“It is important and precious to us.”
