Denmark’s Aleris-Hamlet hospital services group is first to implement Agfa’s VALORY™ digital radiography room in Europe.

Aleris-Hamlet is the largest supplier of private healthcare in Denmark, with seven hospitals throughout the country. It is part of the Aleris Group, which is one of Scandinavia’s leading private healthcare companies. Upon referral from a patient’s physician, Aleris-Hamlet offers a range of diagnostic imaging services, including X-ray, CT, mammography, MRI and ultrasound.

Radiology services are provided at five of the Aleris-Hamlet hospitals. For two of these sites, Aleris-Hamlet has chosen to switch from a 3^rd party vendor to Agfa for digital radiography (DR). In December 2021, an agreement was signed for implementing a VALORY DR room with a Dura-line™ XD 17 wireless detector at the Aleris-Hamlet Aalborg hospital, and a DR 400 room at the Aleris-Hamlet Aarhus hospital. Agfa’s partner in Denmark, DuMed, played a key role in enabling the decision of Aleris-Hamlet, and the solutions were installed by the end of January 2022.

“Agfa’s digital imaging solutions offer excellent image quality for a broad range of applications, which will enable us to increase the satisfaction of patients and referrers, and to strengthen our offer for corporate partners. We are pleased with the service and professionalism of Agfa and DuMed. The installations were carried out promptly, and we look forward to developing our relationship in the future,” said Vivian Brix, Hospital Manager, Aleris-Hamlet Aalborg.

“We are proud that Aleris-Hamlet has chosen to switch to Agfa for digital X-ray at two of its hospitals. Our VALORY DR room, Dura-line detectors and DR 400 have proven their value in increasing productivity and enabling care providers to enhance the care and services they deliver. With their scalability and ease of use, these DR solutions fit into any hospital environment, supporting greater efficiency and patient satisfaction. Furthermore, we appreciate the hard work of our partner DuMed, including Business Manager Iman Andersen, in enabling this success – not just the first Valory in Europe, but the second in the world!,” said Vassilis Karkalis, Sales Director North South East Europe, Agfa Radiology Solutions.
