Reports have indicated that radiographers in hospitals are dangerously in short supply in Ghana and across Africa.
This raises fears about delays in diagnosing and treating life-threatening illnesses.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com, Ghana, with a population of over 30 million, has just 800 radiographers nationwide.
The situation is reported to be worse in Nigeria, where only 200 clinical radiographers serve more than 200 million people.
