Improving medical services

The Skopje-based company PZU D-r Goran Denkovski is a private healthcare institution that was founded in 1994, providing services to more than 7,000 patients per year.  Services include general practitioners, internal specialists and a biochemical laboratory.

To improve its diagnostic services, which normally relies on equipment such as echo diagnostic equipment for abdominal ultrasound, echocardiography and thyroid gland echography, the company invested in a colour Doppler ultrasound device, model Samsung HS70A – CW with Prime, produced by Samsung Medison, Korea.

The new machine eliminates employees and patients’ exposure to harmful radiation. It also consumes less electric energy and allows for a much higher level of precision in diagnostics provided.

The company received free technical assistance to optimize its investment project and 15% grant cash-back after the successful project verification, funded by the European Union. 

With the investment, the company now meets a wide variety of standards including:

• • Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices, amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and repealing Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC (Text with EEA relevance.)
