LASUTH

As the world prepares to mark World Radiology Day tomorrow, the Lagos State chapter of the Association of Radiologists in Nigeria (ARIN), in partnership with PPC Limited, is set to hold its chapter meeting at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), bringing together radiologists, medical physicists and healthcare technology stakeholders to discuss ways to improve diagnostic imaging services across Nigeria.

The meeting, which coincides with global commemorations recognising the pivotal role of radiology in modern medicine, is expected to feature discussions on new imaging technologies, local challenges in radiodiagnosis and collaborative approaches to strengthening diagnostic capacity in hospitals nationwide.

Dr. Emmanuel Iyere, Head of Diagnostics Services at PPC Limited, noted that strengthening radiology infrastructure remains essential to improving patient outcomes and early disease detection. “The importance of accurate and timely diagnosis cannot be overstated. As we commemorate World Radiology Day, we must prioritise the quality, reliability and sustainability of diagnostic systems across Nigeria. Better imaging means better care.

“PPC company has supported several projects focused on medical imaging equipment deployment, maintenance and training, underscoring its commitment to advancing diagnostic capacity nationwide.”

Iyere also stated that the company would continue to contribute to this effort through its public-private partnerships (PPPs) and collaborations with key stakeholders across the Nigerian healthcare ecosystem

This year’s world radiology day highlights the critical role of radiology professionals in healthcare delivery and calls attention to the need for continuous investment in diagnostic technology, capacity building and maintenance culture to ensure accurate and efficient patient care.
