Siemens Healthineers, a leading medical technology company, is proud to announce that the Multix Impact E digital radiography X-ray machine will now be manufactured in India, marking a significant milestone in the company's commitment to providing better access to care for patients in the country.

Tisha Boatman, Senior Vice President, Global Access to Care, Siemens Healthineers stated, “With the local manufacturing of Multix Impact E digital X-ray, we are making basic healthcare available in low-resource settings in India, thereby building capacities and achieving wider access to care."

Commercial availability of Multix Impact E, a locally manufactured digital radiography X-ray system for the Indian market, will enhance the general provision of secondary care for which digital X-ray is a crucial requirement.

The Multix Impact E will be manufactured in the Bengaluru factory, leveraging several years of experience in local-for-local manufacturing of mobile C-arms, CT, and MRI systems.
