Zedu Weekly Wrap – 29 October 2020

We open the doors Monday.

The probes are warming up, the patient models are excited and the Zedu crew are standing by to get your ultrasound back on track.

We couldn’t be more proud of what the local community has achieved, and the tremendous sacrifices made by many that have allowed us all the privilege of reopening.

Thank you – see you soon
