Bangalore: GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric company, launched its latest 'In India, For India' innovation - MAC i. The ECG product has the potential to reduce the ECG cost for a patient to as low as 
9, according to the company.
The company launched the Indian expansion of its $1.5 billion global healthcare IT business on November 23, pledging to offer strong healthcare connectivity and resources to a country that has lagged behind in this key area of healthcare delivery.
India, with a population of 1.3 Billion, has fewer than 0.7 beds per 1000 people and an acute shortage of healthcare professionals. GE Healthcare IT solutions will help in increasing patient access and bridge the acute shortage of well-trained healthcare professionals.
"Healthcare IT is the spine of any good healthcare infrastructure. It delivers information to the heart of healthcare institutions and to the fingertips of providers and patients seamlessly, anywhere, anytime. We're not strangers here. We understand the limitations Indian healthcare is facing between disparate clinics, little information sharing and the paperwork barrier. We are committed to begin changing this through the initiatives we are announcing today and believe we're ushering in a new era in Indian healthcare delivery," said Vishal Wanchoo, President and CEO of GE Healthcare IT.
India is now beginning to discover how GE Centricity solutions deliver information at the center of care, helping organizations achieve more effective and efficient decisions on behalf of patients and providers. GE offers solutions that span the clinical, service, financial and administrative sectors, financial & administrative solutions, clinical solutions and service solutions that serve a broad range of organizations from small physician practices, to imaging centers and the largest hospital/integrated delivery networks (IDNs). Business software helps to improve efficiency and enhance the patient experience. Clinical and imaging solutions help drive greater productivity and help enhance patient safety with workflows and managing protocols. Three key developments marked the official launch of the business, each addressing one of the key pillars of cost, quality and access.
"The benefits are enormous. This is just a small step in taking Indian healthcare into the future. Imagine the entire Indian healthcare system using this intuitive tool to create networks for wider healthcare services. Indian healthcare will then take giant leaps," said Dr. Ajay Aggarwal, Director and Radiologist at Diwan Chand Integral Health Services in New Dehli, the first institution to install PACS-IW in India.
