Cassona Healthcare champions public-private partnerships to transform Ghana’s healthcare landscape

Cassona Healthcare Ltd. (formerly Cassona Global Imaging Ltd.), a leading integrated healthcare infrastructure and solutions provider in Africa, proudly sponsored the 5th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana (PHFAoG), held in Ho, Volta Region.

Addressing participants, John Chigbu, Chief Executive Officer of Cassona Healthcare, highlighted Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as the key to reshaping West Africa’s healthcare systems.

He emphasised that sustainable healthcare delivery in Ghana requires collaboration between government, private enterprises, and healthcare professionals — leveraging the strengths of each to create a unified, accessible, and modern system.

Public-Private Partnerships: The Future of African Healthcare

In his speech titled “The Power of Community in African Healthcare,” Mr. Chigbu underscored that PPPs embody West Africa’s traditional values of collective responsibility and mutual support. He drew a parallel to the story of the Tower of Babel, noting that disunity hinders progress, while collaboration builds resilience.

“Public-Private Partnerships are not just contractual frameworks,” Mr. Chigbu said. “They are expressions of our African heritage — communities working together toward shared progress. Through PPPs, we can unite our cultural values with modern systems to deliver healthcare that is accessible, innovative, and truly African.”

Cassona Healthcare’s Expanded Vision: From Imaging to Integrated Healthcare

Having evolved from Cassona Global Imaging Ltd., the company’s transformation into Cassona Healthcare Group marks a bold step toward comprehensive healthcare solutions. The firm now leads initiatives that span the entire healthcare value chain:

• Healthcare Infrastructure Development: Designing and constructing hospitals and diagnostic centers through PPP collaborations.
• Hospital Operations and Management: Partnering with governments and private investors to ensure efficient, patient-centered facility operations.
• Medical Equipment and Technology Solutions: Supplying and maintaining world-class diagnostic and imaging systems.
• Medical Professional Training: Equipping healthcare workers with the knowledge and tools to harness modern technology effectively.

These initiatives reflect Cassona Healthcare’s commitment to advancing Ghana’s Private Sector Development Policy and align with the AGM’s theme, “Unlocking Opportunities: Leveraging Government’s Private Sector Development Policy to Boost Ghana’s Private Health Sector.”

Empowering the Private Sector Through Collaboration

At the conference, Cassona Healthcare reaffirmed its dedication to empowering private health institutions — essential partners in Ghana’s healthcare ecosystem. The company showcased programs that demonstrate how PPPs can unlock opportunities for private providers, including:

• Training partnerships to strengthen diagnostic and management capacity.
• Loan facilities and financing models for acquiring advanced medical equipment.
• Technical support and after-sales service to ensure long-term equipment sustainability.
• Collaborative hospital projects that share risk and reward between public and private stakeholders.

“Cassona Healthcare stands ready to work hand-in-hand with government and professional associations to build systems that serve every Ghanaian,” Mr. Chigbu added. “Our goal is not only to provide technology but to build the structures and partnerships that sustain progress.”

Building a Sustainable Healthcare Future Together

Cassona Healthcare’s renewed focus on PPP-driven development signals a new era for Sub-Saharan African healthcare — one grounded in collaboration, innovation, and community.

“Africa’s healthcare future is bright if we build it together,” concluded Mr. Chigbu. “Through strong Public-Private Partnerships, we can turn our shared challenges into shared successes.”
