Two of our Key Clients in Africa:
The Clinic at the Mall provides accessible, high quality and personalized healthcare services to families in Kampala and beyond. It is a unique one-stop medical care facility that promotes the health and wellbeing of the patients by not only providing accessible high quality care, but also by engaging them under their own care as well.
Since high quality, and personalized care were at the heart of Dr. Mutema’s vision, she entrusted the responsibility of making this care accessible to her patients to Manipal Hospitals Radiology Group (MHRG).
MHRG devised a 24/7 remote radiology solution for the Clinic. A trained onsite sonologist with remote interpretation of the ultrasound studies helped them to fulfil their vision.
Lives MHRG have touched:

“45-year-old lady with chest discomfort and shortness of breath to be diagnosed promptly with pulmonary emboli with the aid of chest angiography…..
