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.”
