Promoted to Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences @EmoryMedicine!

Forever Thankful to *each and everyone* in the #Village for supporting me, all the way!

30 years ago (August 1995), I arrived as an F-1 visa International student from #Tanzania .. now I pray for
30 more healthy years to pay forward all these blessings.

*Thank You* doesn't begin to describe our gratitude for @doximity Foundation who are *doubling* their funding for @Road2IR Faculty flights - practically a blank cheque for our largest operational expense !!

Since 2018 @doximity Foundation has funded 70+ @Road2IR Faculty flights to #Tanzania #Uganda & #Rwanda via this 3-minute application: foundation.doximity.com

Our rate-limiting step is now Faculty willing to travel and teach our Fellows ..

foundation.doximity.com Doximity Foundation Doximity Foundation funds flights for physicians and advanced practice providers to go on domestic and international global health trips to serve under-resourced communities.

Could we train 1,500 Interventional Radiologists (IRs) in Africa by 2050 ? (1 IR doctor per 1 Million people)

@Road2IR Village: *Yes!*
(It will require a sustained 20% annual growth rate .. )
