The Health MInister will renew, with this plan, linear accelerators, CT or MRI

The Minister reminded that the Inveat Plan will involve an overall investment of more than $900.5 million (€795 million) throughout Spain, which will enable the renewal of 585 pieces of equipment in the National Health System’s (SNS) technology pool and the expansion of a further 262.

In total, Inveat, which represents the largest investment under the Ministry of Health’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, will facilitate the renewal or expansion of around 850 pieces of equipment in the public healthcare technology pool throughout the country.

As the Minister of Health pointed out, this is “an unprecedented investment in the Spanish healthcare system”, which will make it possible to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of the SNS; in particular, Darias stressed, giving as an example that the two new PET-CT scanners to be installed with these funds at the Hospital General Universitario de Ciudad Real “will make it possible to double the number of patients to be diagnosed, that is, to go from 9,000 people per year to 18,000 and to increase the number of patients per year to 18,000,” she said. 000 people a year to 18,000 and to reduce the radiation dose by 50%.

The portfolio of equipment to be renewed or expanded includes linear accelerators, CT scanners, magnetic resonance imaging, PET-CT, gamma cameras, digital brachytherapy equipment, vascular angiographs, neuroradiology angiographs, and hemodynamics rooms. It should be noted that, thanks to these investments, the obsolescence of the high-tech equipment in the SNS will be reduced and the average density rate of high-tech equipment per 100,000 inhabitants will be increased by at least 15%.
