Technical expertise is most prominent in the acquisition of surgical and medical instruments and appliances, as well as electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus. Additionally, her procurement activity extends to industrial equipment, specifically focusing on air-conditioning, heating, and commercial refrigeration systems, as well as food product machinery manufacturing.
