Imaging the World/Imaging the World Africa together with local Rotary clubs of Kiwatule and Kampala Ssese Islands have in the past 2 years worked on a proposal for a match funded project with the Rotary club of Wilmette.

In order to contribute to the body of knowledge Imaging the World has continuously conducted IRB approved research studies on Maternal and Child health. In this regard Imaging the World Africa kicked started work on 2 IRB approved.

On 21 July 2021, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) adopted the recommendation of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to grant special consultative status to Imaging the World Africa (ITWA).

A team from Imaging the World Africa and the Imaging the World Centre for Health Education Research and Innovation (ITW-CHERI) traveled to West Nile, at Adjumani General Hospital, to carry out a training programme.

A Team from Imaging The World Africa (ITWA) traveled to the West Nile part of Uganda to assess different sites for expansion of the organization’s obstetric ultrasound model.

With the rest of the planet, Imaging the World (ITW) and Imaging the World Africa (ITWA) celebrate 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife. Almost half of the world’s 43 million health care workers are nurses and midwives. In under-resourced communities in countries like Uganda and Malawi, there may be fewer than 3 nurses to take care of thousands of people

In a bid to extend maternal ultrasound services to low resource areas in Uganda and Malawi, Imaging The World is using the Philips Lumify application in training point of care nurses and midwives at rural clinics on carrying out ultrasound scans. Equipped with this swift and portable technology, expectant mothers are given the necessary diagnosis without having to travel long distances to access these services.

In the summer of 2009 I had the opportunity to travel to Uganda with some of the Imaging the World (ITW) founding team as the organization began work in Africa. Following my trip to Uganda, as a senior in high school, I continued my work with ITW by helping to prepare and test sweep protocols and develop associated training materials for a high school graduation project. 

Imaging The World hosted Dr Luis Aaron Gadama, a Specialist Obstetrician & Gynaecologist from the University of Malawi, College of Medicine.

We are, for the first time, extending the ITW ultrasound program to include a study that looks for rheumatic heart disease in pregnant women.

This week is a very exciting week for Imaging the World as we introduce a rheumatic heart disease study at two of our existing clinics.

Imaging the World (ITW) participated as first time exhibitor at this year's meeting of the 'Radiological Society of North America' (RSNA).
