​According to World Health Organisation (WHO), two thirds of the global population, or roughly five billion people, have no or only very limited access to reliable, medical imaging services.

In an effort to bridge the gap in ensuring that disadvantaged communities have equal access to high quality medical imaging services, Gauteng MEC for Health and Wellness, Ms Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko together with Pristem Global Diagnostic CEO, Lars Beykirch and Yvonne Motsisi the CEO of Pristem South Africa will officially open the first radiology diagnostic centre in Alexandra township. 

 The diagnostic centre is equipped with an innovative and scalable radiology solution developed by Pristem to address a conspicuous need for quality diagnostic services within South Africa’s healthcare space which will ultimately have a meaningful impact on disadvantaged communities.
