Linköping – – September 29, 2026 -- Swedish medical imaging IT firm Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a partner agreement with S&S Partners to enter Brazil, Latin America's largest healthcare market, with an initial focus on its cloud-based enterprise imaging platform Sectra One Cloud.
Brazil's 7,100 hospitals drive shift from on-premise to cloud imaging
Brazil operates approximately 7,100 hospitals, with the private sector accounting for the majority of advanced imaging investment. Major private hospital groups are pushing the market away from on-premise capital purchases toward subscription-based cloud platforms, a shift Sectra says is already gaining momentum.
Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO at Sectra, said the partnership with S&S Partners provides access to the relationships and local market knowledge required for entry into Brazil.
S&S Partners' pre-launch outreach reaches 3,000 hospital users
S&S Partners, led by CEO Daurio Speranzini, has already begun commercial activity in Brazil, including marketing tied to the Brazilian Radiology Congress that reached approximately 3,000 users across the country's top hospital accounts. The firm brings executive-level medtech experience in Latin America and established relationships with Brazil's leading private hospital groups.
Speranzini said Brazilian hospital groups have sought a scalable, cloud-based platform capable of consolidating multiple imaging specialties into a single system, and that the transition toward cloud subscription models is already underway in the market.
Sectra positions VNA-based platform for multi-specialty scaling
Sectra's enterprise imaging solution is built around a vendor-neutral archive (VNA), designed as a modular system that allows healthcare providers to expand imaging capabilities across specialties and across enterprise sites while lowering operational costs.
