In 2025, our first GHFUS (Global Health Focused Ultrasound) course took place from 23rd to 26th June at Zomba Central Hospital in Malawi. We trained 18 healthcare professionals: 10 local Malawians, 6 from the Netherlands, and 2 participants from Zambia. The group included medical doctors, clinical officers, and radiologists in training in both urban and rural healthcare settings.

The course was delivered by a team of four trainers—one from the Netherlands and three experienced local trainers from Malawi—ensuring both international expertise and deep contextual understanding.

A key strength of the course is its train-the-trainer component, designed to equip local professionals not only with ultrasound skills but also with the ability to teach and mentor others, creating a multiplier effect that supports sustainable, locally driven change.
