"We are designing and building an ultrasound machine the size of a laptop here in India," GE Vice Chairman William Castell told reporters. "Our aim is to make an ultrasound machine as ubiquitous as a stethoscope for every physician," Castell, President and CEO of USD 14 billion GE Healthcare said. The miniaturised ultrasound machine will cost less than USD 10,000 per unit with a rollout timeline of three years. GE's India unit that has designed the Logic 100 black and white and Logic 300 colour ultrasound equipment is the sole supplier of these machines for GE's customers across the world with exports of 4,000 units from India last year. "The miniaturisation effort is to make these machines affordable to every physicians and this would drive volumes," Castell said, adding, several major components for the global health care business were being designed by the 2,200 people in its Indian operations. GE Healthcare India earned revenues of USD 367 million in 2004, which included USD 240 million in exports. GE has invested upwards of USD 100 million in its healthcare unit, which includes two joint ventures - Wipro GE Healthcare and GE BEL.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
