This is a best prospect industry sector for this country. Includes a market overview and trade data.

Overview

Much of the medical equipment at Benin’s teaching hospital, CNHU, is obsolete and needs to be replaced.  Private clinics are growing and the need for medical equipment is increasing. Some of these clinics may opt for used medical equipment.
Leading Sub-Sectors
The best prospective products are new and used medical scanners, X-ray machines, and imaging equipment.  The voltage used in Benin is 220 volts.

Opportunities

The government plans to purchase new medical equipment, including for the first time two Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners for health facilities under its control, as part of its PAG.  Prospects to sell U.S. medical equipment to Benin exist if interested parties have good Beninese partners.  Private clinics may be important clients for used medical equipment.
