Challenges in Radiology
Communication and collaboration is a problem
Lack of access and the high cost of the equipment
Lack of enough skilled resources
The challenge of inequality in the field of radiology – radiographers and radiologists
Scheduling – The number of radiologists in Kenya currently at 146
Inadequate access to health facilities – 14 beds per 10,000 patients Lack of proper infrastructure especially in rural and peri-urban areas Public sector facilities severely underfunded Private sector facilities can hardly finance healthcare equipment
Inconsistent quality and standards - 30% misdiagnoses rate
Variable quality with no accreditation Inadequate use of information
technology
Limited ability to pay – Only 6% insured Good quality care is unaffordable Limited insurance penetration results in
unsustainable OOP payments
Few physicians and skilled medical professionals – 1 doctor per 10,000 people Large deficits in numbers of doctors being trained Available specialized care concentrated in cities
Most Africans face disease and face limited access to high quality, affordable care
