Not sure you are aware of low income, low rent countries dynamics.

I’m not.
It’s more that I’m aware of MR equipment costs, and I can’t see the equipment being discounted.

You can get them for 300-500k in dollars on indiamart.
Salary of medical assistent around 3 dollars per hour.
A few k per month would definitely make the purchase worthwhile.

That is very cheap. The room build is another large cost, but labour is a large part of that cost where I am.
The image quality is going to be unlike what you get from a higher spec machine, but does that matter most the time?
A crappy picture can be diagnostic.
Do you know the model or make of what they are using? I’d be interested to see what they are like.
I struggle with the idea that 10 MRs a day would support a business anywhere, so seeing numbers is really interesting.
