Robust, high-tech and low-cost, this system was designed to withstand the strongest environmental constraints and diminish maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A reaction to inequality in medical technology<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Out of the 20 to 50 million traffic accidents every year throughout the world, 90% of the victims live in low- and middle-income countries, or in emerging or in development countries, where radiology is not available. Today, the GlobalDiagnostiX project brings an answer to this problem. \u201cBeyond the technology itself, an entire value chain was built, meaning how the solution will be manufactured, shipped and maintained, how the on-site staff will be trained or the spare parts replaced\u201d, adds Klaus Sch\u00f6nenberger.
