H60 Ultrasound
Hisense Ghana has extended its footprint beyond the electronics market into the field of public health with the donation of two state-of-the-art Hisense H60 Ultrasound Diagnostic Systems to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi and the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH).
The initiative, announced this week, marks the latest in a series of contributions by the global technology giant aimed at strengthening the country’s healthcare delivery system and improving access to advanced diagnostic services.
Acting Managing Director, Dinah De-graft Quaye, said the donation will enhance diagnostic capacity in two of the country’s busiest teaching hospitals, where thousands of patients rely on ultrasound scans for early detection and treatment planning.
In resource-constrained settings like Ghana, ultrasound serves as the primary non-invasive diagnostic tool for an estimated 70 percent of initial obstetric and gynaecological assessments and is critical for diagnosing conditions ranging from abdominal disorders to heart disease.
According to her, the H60 Ultrasound Diagnostic System combines cutting-edge image processing with a user-friendly interface to deliver exceptional imaging clarity.
This, Dinah stated, ensures faster and more accurate diagnoses, an essential factor in improving patient outcomes in emergency, paediatric, and critical care units.
Globally, Hisense’s medical imaging systems are already in use across more than 20 top-tier hospitals in China, where they have supported over 50,000 complex diagnostic cases and earned strong clinical endorsements from leading medical professionals.
Dinah described the donation as “a continuation of the company’s long-term commitment to supporting Ghana’s public health system through technology-driven interventions.”
This is not the first time the electronics brand has contributed to healthcare in Ghana.
In August 2020, Hisense Ghana donated two fully equipped ambulances, valued at $90,000, to the Apinto Government Hospital and the Tarkwa Municipal Hospital.
That same year, it made its first ultrasound donation to the Tarkwa facility.
In 2023, the company provided an advanced ultrasound diagnostic system worth over $50,000 to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), supporting the training of future medical professionals.
With the introduction of the H60 systems, Hisense Ghana says it hopes to not only boost clinical efficiency but also strengthen the partnership between the private sector and public healthcare institutions.
“Our goal is to ensure that technology serves humanity,” the company said in a statement.
“By equipping Ghana’s leading hospitals with world-class medical equipment, we are contributing to better health outcomes for all,” Dinah De-graft Quaye intimated.
