Sectra continues its expansion in the Middle East

The Swedish IT and medical-technology company Sectra has signed a distribution
agreement with Emitac Healthcare, a leading medical technology company in the
United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

The agreement is a continuation of the company's expansion in the Middle East,
where a partnership was recently established in Saudi Arabia. Emitac Healthcare
represents several internationally recognized manufacturers of a broad range of
technologically advanced medical and IT equipment. Through this partnership,
Emitac Healthcare will become a distributor of Sectra's medical systems in the
United Arab Emirates and Qatar. 

Together, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have a population of approximately
six million and the modernization of the healthcare market is progressing
rapidly. 

“With this agreement, we are well-positioned to take advantage of one of the
major hubs in the Middle East,” says Brian Selman, Vice President, International
Operations at Sectra. “Emitac has a very well-established and highly respected
position in the United Arab Emirates market within both the IT and medical
fields,” he continues.  

“Our healthcare market is expanding, and so is the demand for efficient digital
mammography systems and medical IT solutions,” says Raghavan Srinivasan, CEO of
Emitac Healthcare Group. “Our agreement with Sectra will allow us to provide our
customers with internationally well-proven solutions to enhance the efficiency
of their operations.”
