Supporting the donation of an MRI scanner

For 17 years, the non-profit hospital Diospi Suyana has continued to provide care to the indigenous Quechua community in Apurímac, Peru. The winners of the German Future Prize are donating an MRI Scanner so patients will soon benefit from enhanced diagnostics and better health outcomes. Siemens Healthineers is proudly supporting this donation.

Amongst others, German Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and Siemens Healthineers Managing Board Member, Elisabeth Staudinger, attended the donation ceremony.

Improving healthcare for patents in Peru

Impressive support indeed! The winners of the 2023 Future Prize will use their prize money to donate an award-winning Magnetom Free Star system to a not-for-profit hospital in Apurímac, southern Peru, to improve healthcare there. This donation by Stephan Biber and David Grodzki from Siemens Healthineers and Michael Uder, MD, of the Uniklinikum Erlangen, Germany, is financially supported by Siemens Healthineers, Siemens, and Siemens Caring Hands.

Diospi Suyana Hospital specializes in caring for indigenous Quechua people. Patients from all over the country travel to the hospital, which until now has not had Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment available, though the technology can add great value to the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases. The donation includes a 10-year service contract, and Michael Uder and his team will also provide on-site support for several weeks during a training period for local staff.

Providing access to MRI technology

“It fills me with great pride to be Chairman of the Supervisory Board of a company that is not only recognized for its innovations in healthcare, but also shows great social commitment across borders,” said Siemens Healthineers Supervisory Board Chairman, Ralf P. Thomas. “My special thanks go to the members of the team that won the German Future Prize who donate their prize money to healthcare for the people of Peru.”

“We are honored to have won the German Future Prize, which recognizes the innovation and dedication of our team. Even more importantly, the winners have decided to donate the Magnetom Free platform to a community in Peru that previously had no access to MRI technology. This contribution will greatly enhance the lives of those in need of quality healthcare, reinforcing our commitment to continue pioneering breakthroughs in healthcare for everyone, everywhere,” shared Siemens Healthineers Managing Board Member, Elisabeth Staudinger.

“Diospi Suyana is a Christian humanitarian institution that has been providing state-of-the-art medicine to hundreds of thousands of patients for over 17 years. Our goal was and is to provide the poorest of the poor with the most modern medicine. We thank the award winners, Siemens Healthineers and Siemens, for donating this state-of-the-art MRI machine,” commented Diospi Suyana Founder, Klaus-Dieter John.

Speaking for the Siemens Healthineers development team, Stephan Biber added: “We are very proud to open a new chapter for the people of Apurímac and beyond with this donation. It was clear to us from the beginning that we wanted to use our prize money for better healthcare. With Diospi Suyana in Peru, we have found the perfect partner.”
