Tsumeb District Hospital Enhances Diagnostic Services with New Digital X-Ray Technology. The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) has announced a major upgrade at Tsumeb District Hospital with the installation of new digital X-ray machines, significantly improving diagnostic capabilities in the Oshikoto region.
For years, the hospital had been operating with outdated X-ray equipment that required manual processes, resulting in long waiting times, lower-quality imaging, and increased difficulty in accurate diagnosis. The new digital system now marks a turning point in the hospital’s ability to deliver efficient, high-quality medical care.
The upgraded digital X-ray machines offer clearer, more precise images and allow radiographers to magnify areas of interest for better analysis. This enhancement is expected to aid clinicians in making faster and more accurate diagnoses.
One of the key advantages of the new system is its speed and reduced radiation exposure. With images available for immediate review, both patients and radiographers benefit from safer procedures and shorter exam times. The digital platform also improves workflow, minimizes errors, and reduces the need for repeated imaging.
The improved services at Tsumeb District Hospital reflect the Ministry’s broader commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery and ensuring that regional facilities are empowered with the tools needed to meet patient needs efficiently.
