As the world prepares to mark World Radiology Day on Saturday, November 8, PPC Limited, Nigeria’s leading engineering and infrastructure development company, hosted the Lagos State Chapter of the Association of Radiologists in Nigeria (ARIN) on Friday, November 7, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
The event brought together radiologists, medical physicists, and healthcare technology stakeholders to discuss ways to improve diagnostic imaging services across Nigeria.
The meeting, which coincides with global commemorations recognizing the pivotal role of radiology in modern medicine, featured discussions on new imaging technologies, local challenges in radiodiagnosis, and collaborative approaches to strengthening diagnostic capacity in hospitals nationwide.
Dr. Emmanuel Iyere, Head of Diagnostics Services at PPC Limited, stated that strengthening radiology infrastructure remains essential to improving patient outcomes and early disease detection. “The importance of accurate and timely diagnosis can not be overstated. As we commemorate World Radiology Day, we must prioritize the quality, reliability, and sustainability of diagnostic systems across Nigeria. Better imaging means better care.
“ PPC has supported several projects focused on medical imaging equipment deployment, maintenance, and training, underscoring its commitment to advancing diagnostic capacity nationwide,” he said.
Iyere also stated that the company will continue to contribute to this effort through its Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and collaborations with key stakeholders across the Nigerian healthcare ecosystem
This year’s World Radiology Day highlights the critical role of radiology professionals in healthcare delivery and calls attention to the need for continuous investment in diagnostic technology, capacity building, and maintenance culture to ensure accurate and efficient patient care.

Who knew diagnosing was so important? I always thought it was just about pointing and saying youve got a lump. But Dr. Iyere makes a valid point – better imaging probably means fewer awkward is that a tumor or just my insecurity? conversations. And PPPs? Now thats a government-private partnership I can get behind – maybe they can partner on figuring out where my last N500 went? Kidding aside, its good to see folks talking about actual healthcare improvements for a change, instead of just debating the best way to sell more Dettol. Keep the radiology talks coming, just try to keep the X-rays off my jokes, please!
