The Dutch company MeduProf-S will start, in a joint-venture with local partners ECUREI and Kampala Imaging Center, the first MRI center in Uganda. Uganda is one of the countries in Africa still lacking proper MRI diagnostic facilities. With improving treatment possibilities, a MRI center is a logical new step to improve healthcare in Uganda. The joint-venture Kampala MRI center (Kamric) received an investment grant (PSI) from the Dutch government and recently started with the preparation of the special MRI department at Mengo hospital. The choice for Mengo hospital as the place to host the MRI center is because they are also hosting ECUREI and KAMRIC was looking for a private place where local residents have easy and good access. Besides the operation of the MRI facility Kamric will make the MRI also available for training of ECUREI students and organisation of MRI courses for the region. Kamric recently partnered with Philips Healthcare to deliver the equipment. We expect to open the center in April of this year.
