Diagnostics Medical Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of disease, with imaging required for 30% of all medical conditions. For imaging to be performed, radiology equipment has to be available. Imaging is an important part of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Despite the growth in medical imaging there remains considerable global inequality in access to it. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for unified global action to address the economic, social and environmental priorities reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Healthcare is particularly addressed in SDG3 - Good Health and Wellbeing. This goal has 13 targets, covering all major health imperatives, including UHC. The vision of UHC is to provide all people with quality essential health services. This is especially important for the African countries where most are far from achieving UHC.
