Simulation Shortly after the negotiating with Kamakura began, the Visitron board received the following letter from the World Health Authority in Geneva. It marked the beginning of a separate series of negotiations for Visitron with the target of winning one of the largest scanner contracts ever.
Dear Mr. Parker,
Re World Health Watch programmer
Following our recent conversations, I can now confirm that WHA has received approval from its governing body to launch the World Health Watch program. As you already know, the WHWP will be designed to change the emphasis of our world health care programs from cure to prevention.
One of the main foundations of the World Health Watch will be the establishment of national screening programs in some of the poorest countries of the world. Each program will be equipped to monitor and detect health problems in national populations. As scanning equipment capable of continuous and rapid throughput of patients will be central to these programs, we are approaching the three main suppliers of such equipment to invite them to enter into pretender consultations on this project.
Our estimated requirements are as follows:
128 Large Unit scanners,
384 Medium Unit scanners,
1,920 Small Unit scanners.
These may, of course, be amended following discussions with the manufacturers. Training, maintenance and breakdown facilities will also be required.
We envisage that your help in drawing up the overall specifications of such a program could lead to a rapid processing of tender specifications and contract awards.
We would very much like to meet you to provide more details on the World Health Watch programs and to discuss our requirements.
We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely
Jean Morignot
Commissioner
