Ghana's healthcare industry is experiencing growth across a range of sectors led by high demand for radiology devices.
A new report from San Antonio market research firm Frost & Sullivan estimated that the market earned revenues of $50 million in 2008 and predicts it could reach $135.8 million in 2015.
The key drivers include government investment in public hospital revitalization and the National Health Insurance Scheme, which has made healthcare goods and services more affordable to Ghanaians.
To improve healthcare services, the government has placed medical imaging devices, particularly more advanced x-ray devices and ultrasound equipment, in 41 public hospitals.
In addition, the government is also upgrading public laboratories through automation, supporting sizeable growth in the analyzer market.
