Thanks to donations, Hywel Dda Health Charities has been able to purchase an extra bladder scanner for Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli.
This scanner will be used across the hospital, where needed, to help the medical teams with timely, initial diagnoses.
Also bought was a mobile cart and printer, for use with the scanner.
Clinical Lead Nurse Gareth Phillips said: “This is a very important piece of equipment and is highly-valued. It gives quick access to diagnostics to help us provide the best treatment possible.
“We now have a scanner available for all wards, day or night – a 24-hour service provision – thanks to donations from our local communities.”

Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, Nicola Llewelyn, said: “The support of our local communities
enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.”
