Cassona Global Imaging’s Journey and Partnerships in 2024: A Year of Milestones and Impact

Cassona Global Imaging (“Cassona”) and its valued partners experienced a transformative 2024, marked by significant collaborations, installations, sponsorships, and philanthropic initiatives. From pioneering medical advancements to meaningful community contributions, here’s a concise overview of our journey.
First Quarter: Strengthening Global Partnerships
The year began with our founder, Mr. John Chigbu (Chief Executive Officer), and Ms. Leni Chigbu (Chief Operating Officer) visiting the Mindray and Neusoft Medical System (“Neusoft”) headquarters in China, reinforcing our commitment to top-tier medical technology. Cassona is now the exclusive distributor for Mindray’s Ultrasound and Digital Radiography systems and Neusoft’s full product line in Ghana.
Mindray and Neusoft are leaders in global medical technology. Mindray’s ultrasound machines are widely used in hospitals across the U.S. and Europe for their high imaging quality. Neusoft has developed its own CT scanner systems since the 1990s, making China one of the few countries producing CT scanners domestically. With over 500 units sold in Africa, our partnerships allow us to provide affordable, high-quality medical equipment and expert biomedical engineering services to healthcare providers in Ghana and across West Africa.
In the first quarter, Cassona showcased Mindray’s advanced medical equipment in Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale. We also strengthened medical education by conducting training sessions at institutions like Klintaps College of Health and Allied Sciences.
Second Quarter: Expanding Our Reach
In April, Cassona participated in Medic West Africa, engaging with industry leaders to expand our mission. In May, we attended the SMR Conference in Marrakesh, Morocco, connecting with medical imaging professionals across Africa. Back in Ghana, we participated in the Radiologists’ AGM in Accra, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the local healthcare community.
June marked a major milestone with the installation of the first Mindray Digital Radiography (DR) system in Pusiga, Upper East Region. Despite logistical challenges, our engineering team ensured successful installation and training for local technicians, bringing advanced imaging services to previously underserved areas.
Third Quarter: Growth and Innovation
In July, Cassona officially opened its Kumasi office, further expanding our footprint in Ghana. We also supplied Delta Diagnostic Centre with Ghana’s first Resona i9 ultrasound system, advancing diagnostic capabilities in the region. August featured a Mindray demonstration with KNUST students and the installation of a Mindray DigiEye 280 Digital Radiography system at Klintaps College, enhancing students’ practical training.
In September, Cassona’s leadership team attended the Nigeria-China Economic Summit in Beijing, highlighting our expansion into Nigeria. We also continued our long-standing support for the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana’s AGM. The quarter ended with the successful installation of our first Neusoft CT scanner at Dimer Health Services in Kumasi, furthering our commitment to advanced healthcare solutions.
Fourth Quarter: Advancing Medical Capabilities
Ms. Leni Chigbu, Cassona’s Chief Operating Officer, met with the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) of the Ghana Armed Forces to explore collaborations. She pledged Cassona’s support for the Doula Hospital Project, emphasizing the importance of national medical independence. Additionally, our engineering team traveled to China for intensive Neusoft training in Shenyang, strengthening our expertise in medical imaging services.
In October, Cassona trained Trust Hospital staff on two newly installed MX7 ultrasound systems, improving diagnostic services in Greater Accra. We also installed Mindray’s most advanced mobile X-ray system, the MobiEye 700, enhancing imaging efficiency and accessibility.
December: Giving Back and Looking Forward
December was a month of giving and recognition. To support STEM education, Cassona donated a fully equipped science lab to Kinderkid International School in Gbawa, Accra. We also received the Rising Star Award from Mindray for our exceptional 349% sales growth in 2024.
We concluded the year with the installation of our first CT system in Abuja, Nigeria, expanding Cassona’s impact on regional healthcare.
Looking Ahead
2024 was a year of growth, innovation, and impact. As we step into 2025, we remain committed to advancing medical technology, strengthening partnerships, and transforming healthcare. On the anniversary of Ghana’s independence, we express our gratitude to our partners, clients, and dedicated team. Here’s to another year of success and progress!
