Objectives

WWR was established in 2017 and through our experienced staff and volunteers we are delivering projects that improve health in disadvantaged communities by strengthening diagnostic imaging through education & support.

Medical imaging techniques have revolutionized the practice of medicine and in high resource health systems, form an established, essential component of diagnosis and patient management. For many patients in low and middle-income countries, access to even very basic imaging services, such as ultrasound and X-ray, is either severely restricted or not available at all. WRR aims to improve health in disadvantaged communities by strengthening diagnostic imaging through education & support. 

We are a small charity based in Liverpool, with trustees, staff and volunteers based further afield.

Activities

Through education, clinical service support and research we aim to strengthen the diagnostic imaging provision in low and middle income countries by:

  • Supporting the development of appropriate and good quality imaging services across the spectrum from central teaching hospitals to remote district clinics;

  • Training of healthcare workers, ranging from sub-specialty training for radiologists to basic skills for clinical and allied healthcare staff;

  • Supporting the recovery of stranded equipment;

  • Raising awareness and advocate for safe and quality imaging services;

  • Generating evidence through clinical and operational research collaborations;

  • Training and supporting our network of expert volunteers.
