dc.description.abstract	There is a high demand for medical sonographers, mainly due to high antenatal and other ultrasound examinations. Ghana has 334 registered radiographers and sonographers for a population of 30 million. The non-existence of strict enforcement of mandatory credentialization and licensure for the practice of ultrasonography has made the proliferation by quacks very pervasive in Ghana. However, there is inadequate knowledge about the activities of these unlicensed sonographers. This paper looks at the scale, creation, proliferation, and patronage of unlicensed Sonographers and discusses the impact on Ghana’s health care delivery	en_US
