The advent of radiological services in Ghana was barely thirty-two years after the discovery of X-rays when Korle-Bu Hospital was built by the then colonial Governor, Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg, precisely in 1927. By 1929 and with a nationwide outbreak of tuberculosis, especially among miners in the mining areas, the colonial government requested for the establishment of an X-ray Unit at Korle-Bu Hospital for screening the citizens for early treatment. This was under the management of British radiographers who later co-opted some nurses to train them as their assistants, namely Messrs Thompson and Asiedu, both of blessed memory.
