Atrys Chile has sealed a strategic alliance with AGFA HealthCare, HP and Sonda to transform access to medical imaging solutions in the Andean country. The proposal, presented on June 18 at an event held at the Club El Golf 50 in Santiago, introduces an innovative model based on fee-for-service, eliminating the need for large upfront investments and thus facilitating the incorporation of first-class technology to all types of healthcare centers.

The key to this collaboration lies in offering a comprehensive solution: a state-of-the-art PACS platform (AGFA), operated on HP’s technological infrastructure, with support managed by Sonda, and integrated with Atrys’ medical reporting services. All this under an operational model (OPEX), with no installation or licensing costs, which allows hospitals, clinics and primary care centers to access a complete, scalable service adapted to their budgetary possibilities.

During the launching event, representatives of the public and private sectors highlighted the relevance of this initiative for advancing health equity. The mayor of Huechuraba, Maximiliano Luksic, especially valued its impact on the primary care level, while Dr. María José Letelier, director of the Ministry of Health’s Digital Hospital, underlined how technology, properly applied, can improve efficiency and place the patient at the center of the system. Jorge Herrera, head of technology at the Ministry, endorsed the proposal as a clear example of effective public-private collaboration.

From a strategic point of view, this alliance allows Atrys to reinforce its position as a clinical integrator of reference, capable of leading complex solutions. In this sense, Juan Mella, country manager of Atrys Chile states that “with this proposal, Atrys advances in its commitment to improve the quality of care and reduce the existing inequalities in the country in the access to diagnostic services, contributing to solve structural challenges such as waiting lists or the technological gap between territories”.
