Major apreesh @JVIRmedia for publishing our 5 year Tanzania 🇹🇿 IR update! This article will go a long way in spreading this training model to other countries currently still lacking IR - of which there are many! Free access until 7/6/24 using this link: bit.ly/3wueH80

🚨 Hot off the press in @JVIRmedia: A study revolutionizing #InterventionalRadiology training in Tanzania 🌍🎓! @Road2IR This innovative model may be a game-changer for access to minimally invasive procedures in sub-Saharan Africa. Dive into the findings! 📈🏥 @SIRspecialists 🔍 Study Overview: • Master of Science in IR program launched in Tanzania's principal teaching hospital (10/2019) • First two graduating classes in 2021 & 2022 🎓 • Procedural data & clinical outcomes analyzed from 10/2018 to 7/2022 💡 Impressive Outcomes: • 1,595 procedures performed: 1,236 non-vascular, 359 vascular • Tanzanian fellows acted as primary operators for all procedures 🩺 • Technical success: 97.2% • Complication-free: 95.2% • Fellows independently handled 28.9% of the procedures with equal technical success & safety compared to those performed under supervision (p=0.63 and p=0.90) 📚 Academic Progress: • 10 IR physicians have graduated; more are expected at a rate of 3 per year 🏅 • Training models adopted in Uganda (2023) & Rwanda (2024), reflecting an expanding impact 📌 Conclusion: This IR training model in Tanzania is a practical, successful approach to expand IR services and address healthcare needs in resource-limited settings. 🔗 Delve into the full study: doi.org/doi:10.1016/j.… Kudos to the authors, @AlswangJared, @shinmeichan, @rad_murat, @sweetazza1, @ivanrukundo, @frankminja, @angiowoman, @VRamaMD, @fabianmaxlg for this significant contribution to global health! 🎉 Could this training model be replicated in other regions facing similar challenges?
