On 4 November 2026, ADB Ghana Medical Systems Group Ltd and Philips Healthcare of the Netherlands convened in Accra to cement a strategic partnership that will bring cutting‑edge medical technology to Ghanaian health facilities. The meeting followed the signing of a formal agreement earlier this week and marked a key step in expanding both companies’ footprint in the country.
Representatives from Philips, including International Export and Commercial Lead for Africa Mr Winfried Jansen and West Africa Imaging Business Line Manager Chris Isaac Nyarko, met with ADB’s Executive Chairman Mr Benjamin Diaz and other senior leaders. Discussions centred on the scope of solutions, deployment timelines, contractual obligations and operational and commercial arrangements.
Mr Tamer Said, Philips’ General Manager for Health Systems in West Africa, Gulf and Levant, highlighted ADB’s expertise in turnkey hospital solutions and after‑sales support as a decisive factor in the partnership. He expressed enthusiasm for introducing Philips’ latest imaging and diagnostic technologies to Ghana.
Key outcomes of the engagement included the identification of priority projects, the establishment of a governance and coordination framework, clarification of roles and responsibilities, alignment on commercial and operational implementation, and the development of training and technical support plans. The parties agreed that effective coordination, transparent communication and clearly defined responsibilities will be essential to the partnership’s success.
Mr Diaz noted that the collaboration would significantly improve healthcare delivery in Ghana, citing the quality and technological excellence of Philips products. He said he is confident that these advanced medical technologies will soon be deployed across various Ghanaian healthcare facilities, raising the standard of care.
The partnership is positioned to create broader opportunities within Ghana’s healthcare sector, with both organisations committed to trust, operational excellence, innovation and sustainable growth.
