The expansion agreement, announced on September 23rd, 2015, valued at up to $1.3M as per our estimated level of transactions, is being executed with a global pharmaceutical partner. Our operations in India now include a total of four mobile screening units, one in each of the following cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata. For each of the cities, DIAGNOS provides a complete screening solution comprised of project managers, technicians, image interpretation services, branded vans and drivers, the CARA telemedicine platform, fundus cameras and accessories.
“Since our first announcement of the project in 2013 we have screened thousands of patients in Mumbai and the surrounding area. Our client, along with patients and the clinics used as screening locations, have responded extremely positively to our screening services and we have seen 300% growth in patient volume since February of this year and an average of 1,400 patients per month. As a result of the success of the first screening unit, the new screening units function exactly the same way as the original one in Mumbai. We are excited to have expanded to other cities in India and look forward to continuing to grow in the country,” said Andre Larente, DIAGNOS– President.
