Discounted Ultrasound Machines
For expectant mothers in a rural village, an ultrasound diagnosis can mean the difference between a safe and hazardous delivery. For children suffering from rheumatic heart disease in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, an ultrasound diagnosis can lead to life-saving treatment. Because our equipment is uniquely suited for these austere environments, we feel compelled to bring this valuable technology to those who need it most. Sonosite SoundCaring and Global Health Loaner programs make Sonosite hand-carried ultrasound systems available to those working on humanitarian effots in remote, low-income communities with little or no access to ultrasound technology.
