Africa Telerad is a Kenya-based teleradiology company providing hospitals and imaging centres with reliable access to qualified radiologists, 24 hours a day. Established in 2012, we help healthcare facilities overcome radiologist shortages, manage growing imaging volumes and deliver timely reports across all major imaging modalities.
Our services combine an experienced radiology network, dedicated operational coordination, quality assurance and technical support. They are powered by AfyaRadTM, our secure teleradiology and medical imaging workflow platform, which helps us connect facilities and radiologists and manage the reporting process efficiently.
Africa Telerad was established in Kenya in 2012 in response to a clear healthcare need: hospitals were investing in imaging equipment but often lacked sufficient radiologist coverage to interpret studies promptly. This challenge was particularly significant for facilities outside major cities and those requiring reporting at night, on weekends and during public holidays.
We began by connecting healthcare facilities with qualified radiologists who could interpret studies remotely. As our client network and reporting volumes grew, we expanded our radiology network, strengthened our operational and quality-assurance processes, and developed AfyaRadTM to coordinate the reporting workflow securely and efficiently.
Today, Africa Telerad provides remote radiology reporting, in-house radiologist support, PACS solutions and medical image backup services to healthcare facilities across multiple African countries. Our purpose remains the same: to make dependable radiology expertise more accessible, regardless of a facility's size or location.
Technology supports the reporting process, but experienced professionals remain at the centre of every diagnosis. Africa Telerad works with a network of qualified radiologists supported by clinical oversight, operational coordination and technical assistance.
We review each radiologist's professional qualifications, registration, experience and areas of competence before onboarding. Reports are issued in accordance with the applicable licensing and clinical-governance requirements.
Our network provides experience across all major imaging modalities, with access to radiologists with additional expertise in areas such as neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, abdominal, cardiac and paediatric imaging. Cases can be assigned or escalated according to their clinical requirements.
Our radiologist roster and operations team work together to maintain reporting coverage throughout the day and night, including weekends and public holidays. Emergency studies are prioritised according to the agreed turnaround times.
Radiologists complete an assessment before joining the network. We support reporting quality through case review, clinical feedback, escalation of difficult studies and ongoing monitoring of report quality and turnaround performance.
Headquartered in Kenya, Africa Telerad supports hospitals and imaging centres across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Botswana and Sierra Leone. Our experience includes large referral hospitals, private hospitals, diagnostic centres and regional healthcare facilities with different imaging volumes and reporting requirements.
We understand the operational realities of delivering radiology services across varied African healthcare environments. Our team works with each facility to establish an appropriate image-transmission and reporting workflow, taking into account its imaging equipment, existing systems, connectivity and clinical requirements.

AfyaRadTM is our secure teleradiology and medical imaging workflow platform. Here is how it supports the reporting service behind the scenes.
Works with imaging equipment from any manufacturer. If it produces DICOM files, it works with AfyaRadTM, with no proprietary formats and no vendor lock-in.
Integrates with your PACS if you have one. If you do not, the platform manages the whole reporting workflow through a secure cloud-based system.
Reports can push directly into your Hospital Information System, reducing manual data entry. Without an HIS, authorised users access reports through the web-based platform from any supported device.
Every image is encrypted, patient data stays private, and studies are stored to healthcare data standards, with on-site and cloud backup so no study is lost.
Around-the-clock help with uploads, report access and system integration, plus remote reporting access for hospital radiologists working off-site.
