Agfa HealthCare is pleased to announce its strong performance in the recently published KLAS Research Latin America (LATAM) PACS 2024 report.

Agfa HealthCare is proud of the positive recognition and quantitative insights from this report. These accolades underscore our commitment to delivering solutions that drive excellence for our customers and reflect our strategic growth ambitions in the LATAM region.

Agfa HealthCare’s Return to Brazil: Leading with Reliability and Value

Our  re-entry into Brazil with our partner Konimagem has proven successful, with interviewees awarding Enterprise Imaging for Radiology an Overall Performance Score of 87.3. Despite being in the market for just 18 months and the limited data available (n=3), Agfa HealthCare was praised for product reliability and value.  Notably, we achieved a perfect score of  100% on “Keeps all Promises” – well above the national average.

Driving Innovation and Transformation in LATAM

The KLAS Research Latin America PACS 2024 report underscores the growing demand for advanced imaging IT solutions in the region. Brazil, in particular, is witnessing a shift towards more dynamic vendors, as healthcare providers realign their expectations to meet the changing landscape.

Agfa HealthCare remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions which set new standards in clinical imaging. With top-rated scorings, and strong momentum across the LATAM territories, we are excited to continue driving innovation and bring our customers to success.
