EASE^® Healthcare has launched a pay-per-scan program to revolutionize Ghana’s healthcare equipment access.

The initiative, supported by the African Asset Finance Company (AAFC), introduced Equipment-as-a-Service (EASE^®) in Accra.

EASE^® Ghana aims to tackle the issue of inadequate and non-functional medical equipment by offering a pay-per-use model.

Equipment-as-a-Service (EASE^®) Ghana, a cost-effective equipment solutions provider, has launched its operations in the country by installing a computed tomography (CT) scanner for FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital at Pantang in Accra.

Ghana has taken the lead in becoming West Africa’s first beneficiary of the African Asset Finance Company’s (AAFC) Equipment-as-a-Service (EASE^®) healthcare with its first installation at the FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital in Accra.

This feat was cemented after a CT Scanner, a diagnostic medical equipment provided by EASE^® Ghana, was installed at the hospital during a brief ceremony, which also announced the presence of the partnership in the country.

EASE^® Ghana, a subsidiary of African Asset Finance Company (AAFC), successfully launched yesterday at the FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital.

EASE^®’s innovative pay-per-use program will enable HTS to pay for the installation and use of a new Siemens Magnetom Free.Star Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner from the cashflows generated by using the equipment. By providing “equipment-as-a-service”, the EASE^® Healthcare program is supporting medical organisations like HTS to deliver the highest standards of care to their patients by making access to the latest medical technology more cost-effective.

EASE^® Ghana has signed its first customer in the country, introducing its “equipment-as-a-service” model to Ghana’s healthcare sector. FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital is set to receive best-in-class medical diagnostic equipment through EASE^® Ghana’s unique pay-per-scan service. The hospital is one of West Africa’s leading healthcare providers and has recently undergone a period of significant growth in patient numbers.
