CT Scanning vs Welfare Status in Africa: A Sociological Appraisal

Abstract

CT scan is a way of imaging different parts of one's body first established in 1963 within the industrial world, and gradually entered Africa. It caused life to increase, and more generations to live together. Countries with more welfare, could easily access it. Countries with more advanced medical facilities are more equipped with radiology and imaging. CT scan has eventually increased life expectancy, followed by higher welfare status in many African countries. The poor developing countries of Africa are poor in the field of radiology and imaging too, followed by their shorter life, and higher mortality rate. Many African countries being more rural, are deprived of medical radiology and imaging followed by their shorter life span, and higher mortality rate. Africa has a lot to do, to raise its medical standards including radiology and imaging. African nations need to make up the necessary infrastructure to be able to access the needful medical services they need
