Prior to the project implementation, the clinic reportedly faced difficulties, because the existing X-ray system had been used for a long time and needed to be replaced. With the new X-ray system, the quality of diagnosis at the clinic will improve and more than 20,000 patients who need to take X-ray examination in one year in the area can get a great benefit.
