CCRG and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital , in collaboration with industry partners Ascom and Dräger , have made history this month with the opening of the world’s first Silent Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Ascom has secured one of two major framework agreements with Helse Sør-Øst (HSØ), Norway’s largest regional health authority. The agreements are part of the large-scale modernization of HSØ’s hospital infrastructure and covers both the upgrading of existing hospitals and new constructions. This modernization is expected to enhance patient care by enabling faster response times and improved safety measures, streamline hospital operations through integrated clinical communication systems, and improve working conditions for medical staff by providing more efficient tools. The estimated value of the framework agreement is CHF 80 million over seven years.
