With aspirations to be the preferred group procurement organisation for radiology across ANZ , Althea Australia ’ s Phil Barber & Monique Gaspar explain why
In a post-pandemic society where there ’ s an increased focus on physical and mental health , healthcare organisations around the world have found themselves under the spotlight . Whether this relates to the integration of tech and automation , clinical effectiveness , or patient care depends on the organisations themselves .
Althea Australia is a part of the Althea Group , a global organisation working across 16 countries . The Group operates as an outsource technological partner that provides managed services and multivendor maintenance across an entire spectrum of medical equipment – both in public and private portfolios .
But over at Althea Australia , based in Melbourne , things are slightly different .
“ We provide consultancy and procurement services across a full range of diagnostic imaging equipment , including CT , X-ray , and MRI , up to 13 modalities ,” says Monique Gaspar .
“ The procurement function really is the integral component of our business operations , and we ’ re really committed to delivering best outcomes and best benefits for our customers .”
Head of Business Operations and Procurement at Althea Australia , Gaspar runs its day-to-day operations and manages customer supply relationships . She is , however , a radiographer by trade .
