NNPC donates MRI machine to Kano hospital

The NNPC Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of NNPC Ltd., has enhanced medical infrastructure in Kano State by donating a fully installed, state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Dala.

Before the intervention, patients needing advanced MRI diagnostic services often faced challenges of travelling long distances, longer waiting times, and delays in care due to high cost and availability.

This significant intervention is designed to improve healthcare access and strengthen medical diagnostics across Nigeria. The new MRI system is expected to significantly enhance the diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions, including orthopaedic, neurological, trauma, musculoskeletal, and gynaecological issues. Previously, patients often faced challenges such as long travel distances, extended waiting times, and treatment delays due to the scarcity and high cost of advanced MRI services.
