Radiology Oncology Systems of San Diego, California has announced it has opened an office to provide much needed medical equipment to the Caribbean and other Latin American countries, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. ROS is a provider of radiation oncology equipment and diagnostic imaging equipment, including linear accelerators, CT scanners, MRI systems, PET/CT systems, and x-ray systems, along with related products, services and accessories.
John Vano, President of ROS, noted, “The need for quality, pre-owned and new medical equipment continues to grow, not only in the United States, but in other parts of the world. In the U.S., cost-cutting measures, combined with the need for accessibility for patients, is fueling the demand for quality equipment. Likewise, in Latin America, private and regional clinics are in need of affordable, increasingly sophisticated medical equipment. By opening an office in the Dominican Republic, we can better service our customers in the region.”
Federico Alvarez, M.D. will be managing and building this office through an affiliate company, Aldia Healthcare. Dr. Alvarez has extensive experience in radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging equipment, and has served as a distributor for companies such as Varian Medical Systems, Brainlab, and GE.
“I am pleased to join an organization like ROS that has a great track record in both the U.S. and Latin America, and I am excited to be part of an initiative to improve the quantity and quality of patient care throughout the world. Our mission is to accelerate the journey that one day will bring quality healthcare to all of humanity, in all areas of the world,” stated Dr. Alvarez. “I am also happy to help fuel the growth of the equipment industry in general. We have found that providing cost-effective, pre-owned equipment to new facilities helps drive further demand for technology, which is a great benefit to other manufacturers and developers of equipment and software.”
Federico’s distribution territory includes: Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Panama, Puerto Rico, Saba, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos, U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John), and Venezuela.
