ITW Consortium
for Health
Expert provider of ultrasound equipment, imaging care and training.
Consortium for Health
In 2022, Imaging the World set up the Consortium for Health in Kampala (CHI). This ‘for-profit’ arm of the organization was conceived so that any profit made would help sustain and further fuel the work and efforts of the growing not-for-profit main body of Imaging The World.
CHI exists to be an expert provider of ultrasound imaging equipment and professional training services in East Africa.
The team is committed to improving health care delivery in sub-Saharan Africa through the provision of reliable ultrasound imaging services, equipment and training support in a sustainable manner.
