Thanks to the financial support of the German government, on August 10, St. Luke's Hospital in Lviv will receive a modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner made by Philips.

This was reported to Ukrinform by the office of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ).

"This device will significantly improve and speed up diagnostic capabilities for patients in the region. It provides high image quality and also reduces maintenance costs due to the complete sealing of the magnets used. The very low consumption of helium allows for significant savings and contributes to the sustainability of the hospital," GIZ noted.

The total cost of the new equipment is EUR 1.5 million.
