Dear Customer,
I am privileged and honoured to be back with all of you in the
healthcare market of South Asia. Over the last 18 months, I have
had the opportunity to lead GE’s Asia CT Business and Quality
Function. I hope to translate some of my learning into my new
role.
GE Medical Systems had a great year
in 2001 and with your support, continues to be the leading
healthcare solutions provider for the third consecutive year in
South Asia.
On behalf of our employees and valued customers, I thank Mr. D A
Prasanna for building a strong, profitable and customer focused
company.
The future of medical imaging and
healthcare delivery will be driven by great technological
innovations. GE Medical Systems is leading from the front to
address this challenging opportunity.
We dedicate this issue of IMAGES

MRI - GE EXCITETM that will expand MR imaging to a true
four-dimensional tool

We are committed to sharing the
benefits and best practices of our quality initiative -

year across South Asia. We will continue to invest time and
