A global income map reveals a clear reality: the lower the income, the harder it is to access essential diagnostics.
MRI accessibility varies drastically worldwide, shaped by economic development, infrastructure, and policy decisions.
🔹 High-income countries: Widespread MRI access in hospitals and clinics.
🔹 Middle-income countries: Unequal distribution—urban centers have MRI, rural areas often do not.
🔹 Low-income countries: Severe shortages, with machines concentrated in major cities, leaving many without access.
This gap represents both a healthcare challenge and an investment opportunity. With demand exceeding supply, scalable models like pay-per-use MRI leasing make diagnostics accessible while ensuring financial sustainability.
The question is no longer whether MRI access can be expanded, but how efficiently it can be implemented.
