POCUS Training in Grenada, 2022
Grenada is an archipelagic Caribbean country. Grenada is known to have excellent primary care services, but the country is still behind in some specialized areas, including radiology. RAD-AID launched its collaboration with St. Augustine’s Medical Services in early 2018. The hospital is located in St. George’s and has 12 inpatient beds and serves around 50,000 patients in St. George’s and the surrounding parishes. St. Augustine’s frequently receives referrals for radiography, CT, and sonography which are available seven days a week.
RAD-AID Volunteers in Carriacou, 2023
RAD-AID is partnered with Grenada’s Ministry of Health to provide structured support to address growing radiology needs throughout the country. In 2023, RAD-AID implemented an ultrasound curriculum for midwives and skilled birth attendants for improving maternal health outcomes. Over the next 5 years, RAD-AID is collaborating with Philips Foundation to provide hand-held ultrasound and tele-ultrasound (real-time sonographic image-sharing and communications) for nurse midwives and skilled birth attendants to advance maternal-infant health.
