Accra — Ghana has commissioned its first helium-free MRI system as HealthTech Ghana Limited, in partnership with the Ministry of Defence, inaugurates a state-of-the-art Diagnostic Centre at 37 Military Hospital in Accra.

The facility houses the Philips BlueSeal MRI, a global innovation with helium-free technology that lowers costs, improves sustainability, and ensures reliable, high-quality imaging. 

The centre is set to expand access to advanced diagnostics for both military personnel and the public, reducing the need for costly overseas referrals.
