Global leader in healthcare

Denmark is among the most innovative nations within healthcare solutions and the Danish approach to development, deployment and use of healthcare equipment is drawing international attention.

The Mount Sinai hospital in Manhattan, New York, recently entered into cooperation with the Danish company Radiometer. Radiometer is a world leading supplier of both equipment and methods in various medical testing processes such as blood gas analysis. Currently Radiometer is conducting a clinical trial of one of their newest equipment at the Mount Sinai Heart Institute.

“We thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for taking time during his busy schedule to recognize the developing partnership between Radiometer and Mt. Sinai, one of the leading acute care hospitals in the United States,” said Radiometer’s President Peter Kürstein. “We look forward to working with Mt. Sinai to provide the industry’s most advanced blood gas testing solution to support their world-class clinical laboratory.”
