The contract runs for two years and includes installation and maintenance services.

Sensory equipment provided by Medequip under the scope of this contract is comprehensive and varied, including personal listening aids, Megaloop listening systems, alarm clocks, talking watches, phone triggers and doorbell alerts as well as talking kitchen equipment such as scales and measuring devices.

Additional training for our staff ensures that we can provide a tailored facility matching the special requirements of users with vision and hearing impairment.
