This week is #NationalHealthEducationWeek. Education is crucial in improving healthcare, especially in low and middle income countries. In many regions, access to diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasounds and X-rays, is limited. It's not just because of a lack of equipment, but because there aren’t enough trained healthcare professionals to effectively use and interpret these tools. Education is essential in addressing this gap. By providing healthcare workers with the right training, we’re enabling them to perform and interpret imaging tests that lead to quicker and more accurate diagnoses. This not only improves immediate patient care but also strengthens the entire healthcare system by ensuring that local health workers have the skills to deliver these services long after the initial training. By investing in education, we’re building more resilient healthcare systems that can better serve communities for the long term. #EmpowerThroughEducation #HealthForAll #StrongerHealthcareSystems

Meet Dr. Martha Tufuor-Kokor, a dedicated physician from Ghana whose journey in medicine has been filled with both challenges and successes. Specialising in internal medicine, Martha’s path took an exciting turn when she joined the POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound) training with Worldwide Radiology in 2022. Since then, POCUS has become a key tool in her practice, allowing her to make quick, life-saving decisions—especially in low-resource settings. From diagnosing heart failure to avoiding unnecessary procedures, POCUS has truly transformed how she cares for her patients. Now, as a POCUS trainer, Martha is passing on these invaluable skills to others, helping to shape the future of healthcare in Ghana. “POCUS allows us to make critical decisions right at the bedside, particularly in environments where every minute counts.” 🩺 Read more about Dr. Martha’s inspiring journey and her role in developing the next generation of healthcare professionals: https://lnkd.in/dCRsajJ8 #POCUS #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalTraining #GlobalHealth #Radiology #Ghana #Mentorship #PatientCare #WorldwideRadiology

Having the skills to use POCUS saved valuable time and allowed us to avoid a misdiagnosis that could have been fatal. It was also critical for the patient, who couldn’t afford the full range of diagnostic tests that would otherwise have been needed.” Dr Martha Tufuor-Kokor #POCUS #PatientCare #Ultrasound #GlobalHealth #MedicalTraining #Radiology #PointofCare #HealthcareAccess
