AGFA HealthCare, a global leader in medical imaging and IT solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Barwon Health, one of Victoria’s largest and most comprehensive regional health services. Through this collaboration, AGFA HealthCare will deliver its industry-leading Enterprise Imaging Platform, which is designed to optimise workflow efficiencies, enhance diagnostic confidence, and provide seamless access to imaging data across Barwon Health’s extensive regional network.

Barwon Health serves a diverse and growing population, spanning Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast, and the wider Barwon South-West region. This new partnership aligns with Barwon Health’s Strategy, which emphasises connected, learning public health ecosystems – and accessible healthcare technology – to improve and streamline the delivery of patient care.

The adoption of AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging (EI) Platform marks a significant digital transformation for Barwon Health’s Medical Imaging department. The solution integrates radiology and other imaging services into a single, unified system – offering clinicians faster access to patient images, AI-powered diagnostic tools, and future cloud-based scalability.

Barwon Health joins leading healthcare pioneers in the drive for imaging Innovation

Barwon Health enters the growing network of leading Australian healthcare providers, including Austin Health, Eastern Health, Northern Health, Princess Alexandra Hospital, and Sunshine Coast Hospital, who are already leveraging the benefits of AGFA HealthCare’s EI. These institutions are harnessing the power of cross-federation integration and AI-enhanced workflows to drive efficiency, improve diagnostic confidence, and ultimately deliver better patient care.

A shared commitment to innovation and patient care

Yasmin Verbunt, Medical Imaging Operations Manager at Barwon Health, highlighted the importance of this partnership in supporting regional healthcare needs:

“Barwon Health is excited to implement AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging platform, which will greatly improve how we manage and access medical imaging across our network. With our growing population and increasing demand for diagnostic services, we believe this technology will allow us to provide faster, more efficient, and high-quality imaging services to our patients. We look forward to working closely with AGFA HealthCare to bring this innovative solution to life.”

Jamie Osmond, Regional President ASPAC for AGFA HealthCare, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration:

“We are honoured that Barwon Health has chosen AGFA HealthCare as its partner in advancing medical imaging. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to leveraging innovative technology to enhance clinical efficiency and improve patient care. Barwon Health’s leadership in digital health transformation makes them an ideal partner, and we look forward to delivering solutions that support their long-term healthcare vision.”

Strengthening healthcare across the Barwon South-West region

Barwon Health plays a critical role in regional healthcare delivery, with its University Hospital Geelong serving as a major hub for acute, mental health, and community health services. This initiative aligns with Barwon Health’s strategic priority – to ensure equitable access to advanced medical technologies across urban and regional settings. As Victoria’s healthcare system evolves to meet rising demand and demographic shifts, partnerships like this reinforce the importance of sustainable, integrated healthcare solutions.

We welcome Barwon Health to #TeamAGFA, and look forward to advance patient care for the people across regional Victoria!
