22 portable digital x-ray machines were commissioned today by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama

Good news as x-rays done for people at any of the hospitals in the country will now take little time for results after 22 portable digital x-ray machines were commissioned today by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.

The portable digital x-ray machines will give the results in 5 seconds compared to the previous 20 minutes waiting period.

Speaking at the launch at Makoi Health Centre, Bainimarama says with the new technology, every Fijian deserves to be assisted.

He says currently there are only four hospitals in the country that are using this device and with the new equipment more people will be assisted.

The government invested $4.3 million in acquiring the 22 portable digital x-ray machines.
