About Pro Medicus Limited
Pro Medicus Limited [ASX: PME] is Australia’s leading medical IT and e-health provider. Founded in 1983, the company provides a full range of integrated software products and services to individual, corporate and public health providers. More than 26,000 doctors are now connected to the company’s e-health service, promedicus.net, with the number of transactions across the network between general practitioners and specialists growing accordingly. A key growth area for the company is the adoption of its digital technology by radiology providers as they move away from analogue systems. An increasing number of Australian practices are taking up Pro Medicus’ digital technology and the company is now also making substantial inroads into the North American market. In late 2004, the company signed a watershed three-year $10 million deal with Agfa North America to exclusively license the Pro Medicus Practice Management and digital radiology software products for the large and rapidly growing private imaging centre market in the US and Canada. It subsequently announced a $2.6 million contract with a large Canadian radiology group which was completed in 2005.
