Cassona Global Imaging Ltd has unveiled a flexible financing model to improve access to advanced diagnostic imaging equipment in Nigeria.

Speaking at the launch event in Abuja, CEO of Cassona Global Imaging, Mr. John Chigbu emphasised the company’s commitment to affordability and healthcare infrastructure development.

“Before I came here, I heard someone say a CT scanner costs a million dollars. We sell it for about $250,000 and we finance it. We allow for small down payments and pay-as-you-go options. Financing terms can extend up to 24 or even 36 months, depending on the situation,” Chigbu stated.

The company’s business model aims to reduce the financial burden on hospitals and diagnostic centers, enabling them to install critical equipment without heavy upfront costs. In some cases, Cassona is prepared to place the equipment at no cost, allowing facilities to pay gradually based on revenue generated.

Cassona’s expansion into Nigeria follows its healthcare pivot during the COVID-19 pandemic and successful launch in Ghana in 2022.

The company, originally a logistics and PPE supplier in the United States, shifted focus after Chigbu’s personal experience with delayed cancer diagnosis due to inadequate imaging access.

“We are not just selling machines. We are building a healthcare system that works. From ultrasound and X-ray to CT and PET scans, our goal is to make diagnostic services accessible to more Nigerians,” he said.

Chigbu said that Cassona will establish a diagnostic center in Abuja within a year and build up to ten fully equipped turnkey hospitals across the country. These facilities will include on-site training centers to support knowledge transfer and capacity building for radiologists, radiographers, and biomedical engineers.

“We bring in experts, but we also hire locally. Our focus is on knowledge transfer and sustainability. And if a machine breaks down, we either fix it in 48 hours or replace it,” he said.

Representing the U.S. Mission in Nigeria, Mr. Blake Murray, Commercial Officer from the U.S. Department of Commerce, applauded Cassona’s investment, describing it as a significant step toward strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare infrastructure.

“Partnerships like this provide access to world-class technologies and critical support services. They align with Nigeria’s goals for digital health transformation, workforce development, and universal health coverage,” Murray said.

He also noted that the United States and Nigeria will soon launch a Commercial and Investment Partnership in Abuja to support key sectors, including healthcare infrastructure.

As Sub-Saharan Africa continues to face shortages in modern diagnostic tools, Cassona’s presence in Nigeria is positioned to address longstanding challenges; outdated equipment, limited technical expertise, and unreliable maintenance support, by offering modern solutions backed by training and local servicing.
