Clearing the backlog will be a worldwide priority that is estimated to take a full year – even if hospitals increase their daily number of surgeries performed by 20%.

Throughout this time installation has taken place onsite our sales and service team’s working closely with Hospital BioMed’s and Clinicians.
Similarly, our Clinical Applications Specialists have been working hard to provide face to face training as well as developing a suite of video resources that can be directly accessed by the clinicians at the point of care” - Allan Rowan, Director of Sales for ACT.
