We started to drive from Dar es Salaam 🇹🇿 to Yaoundé 🇨🇲 early last month — meeting IR colleagues, checking out potential @road2IR training sites & enjoying the journey.
Part 1: Dar → Livingstone 🌍✨ Beautiful nature, great people, and visiting Zambia’s only IR Dr. Nteeni!
We celebrate our pioneer Interventional Radiology Fellows who have successfully completed their training, a critical step on the route to super-specialization.
We are thrilled to collaborate in advancing Interventional Radiology in Uganda, and @MinofHealthUG is fully committed to taking these life-saving services to the next level. #MOHatWork
