Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health’s Post

Congratulations to the recipients of this #GlobalHealth Seed Grant, co-funded by the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, which aims to empower local doctors and provide them with the necessary tools, technical skills, and confidence to begin incorporating this powerful tool into the care of patients. ⁠ Portable ultrasounds enable non-invasive imaging and diagnosis by trained medical professionals regardless of a patient’s location, whether in a hospital, rural clinic, or ambulance. By piloting a training course in collaboration with the University Teaching Hospital of Zambia, Stanford investigators hope to increase Zambian physicians’ expertise with the technology, increase patients’ access to diagnostic imaging, and improve overall quality of care. ⁠ Learn more about this Seed Grant project and 16 others here: https://lnkd.in/g4fXFdWz #healthcare #education #healthequity
