KAMPALA, Uganda — C-Care Uganda, a leading provider of premium healthcare services, has unveiled a state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner at its flagship facility, C-Care IHK.
The new MRI scanner, which leverages cutting-edge AI technology, enables precise, non-invasive, and fast medical diagnoses for patients across Uganda. It can perform routine scans in as little as 10 to 15 minutes, addressing critical healthcare challenges like long diagnostic wait times.
According to Azhar Sundhoo, CEO of C-Care Uganda, the new MRI scanner positions the organization as a market leader in healthcare, demonstrating its commitment to providing quality care to its patients.
“This development positions C-Care further as a market leader in healthcare, demonstrating our commitment to doing the right thing for our patients,” Sundhoo said. “We are also proud to announce investments in diagnostic centers in other regions, including Mukono, Mbale, and Gulu, ensuring that advanced healthcare is accessible to all Ugandans. Our vision remains steadfast: to make healthcare accessible and comprehensive in every sense.”
Sundhoo also extended his gratitude to the team driving this success, saying, “I want to thank the exceptional leadership of our General Managers, Dr. Miriam Musinga Mutero at C-Care IHK and Andrew Mugalu at C-Care IMC. Their dedication ensures that our mission of delivering world-class healthcare becomes a reality.”
Dr. Miriam Musinga Mutero, General Manager of C-Care IHK, stated, “With the introduction of our advanced MRI service, we now have the ability to conduct comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team discussions and provide solutions for our patients more effectively. We no longer need to refer patients out; our diagnostic services are now complete. The MRI allows us to perform a wide range of tests, from routine to complex, that were previously unavailable in Uganda. We welcome collaborations with other healthcare providers and invite them to bring their referrals to C-Care IHK. We need to work together towards our shared goal of making Uganda a healthier nation.”
