PACS - Picture Archiving System in Kenya
Available PACS - Picture Archiving System Models

A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a medical imaging technology that facilitates the storage, retrieval, distribution, and viewing of medical images. In essence, it's the digital backbone for modern radiology departments and other imaging-intensive medical services in Kenya. Instead of relying on physical film, PACS digitizes medical images – such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds – making them accessible electronically to authorised healthcare professionals. This digital workflow enhances efficiency, improves diagnostic accuracy, and streamlines patient care by providing immediate access to critical imaging data from various locations.

In Kenya's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is no longer a luxury but a necessity for a wide range of medical facilities and departments. From large tertiary institutions to smaller, specialized clinics, the demand for efficient imaging management is growing. Implementing a PACS streamlines workflows, enhances diagnostic accuracy, and improves patient care by providing secure, centralized access to medical images and reports.

Implementing a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in your Kenyan healthcare facility is a crucial step towards digitalizing your medical imaging workflow. Our comprehensive installation process is designed for efficiency and minimal disruption, ensuring a smooth transition to a more robust and accessible imaging management solution. We prioritize clear communication and meticulous execution at every stage.

The investment in a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in Kenya can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the size and complexity of your facility, the number of imaging modalities to integrate, the required storage capacity, and the level of customization needed. Generally, expect a range that caters to different operational scales.

For smaller clinics or imaging centres with limited throughput and basic requirements, initial outlays can start in the region of KES 1,500,000 to KES 3,000,000. This typically covers a more compact solution with essential archiving, basic viewing capabilities, and integration with a few modalities.

Mid-sized hospitals and larger diagnostic centres, which require more robust functionality, higher storage, advanced viewing workstations, and integration with multiple modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, etc.), will likely see investment costs ranging from KES 3,000,000 to KES 10,000,000. This bracket allows for greater scalability and more sophisticated features.

For large hospital networks, multi-site facilities, or institutions with extremely high imaging volumes and demanding clinical workflows, a comprehensive, enterprise-level PACS solution can represent an investment exceeding KES 10,000,000, potentially reaching several tens of millions of Kenyan Shillings. These systems offer advanced features like AI integration, sophisticated reporting tools, disaster recovery, and seamless integration with EMR/EHR systems.

It's crucial to note that these figures are estimates and do not include ongoing costs such as software maintenance, support contracts, hardware upgrades, and potential IT infrastructure enhancements. Obtaining detailed quotes from reputable PACS vendors operating in Kenya is the most effective way to determine the precise cost for your specific needs.
