| RAD-AID |
RAD-AID began in 2008 to answer this need for more radiology and imaging technology in the resource-limited regions and underserved communities of the world. RAD-AID began as a few people at Johns Hopkins, and has grown to include over 14,000 volunteers from 146 countries, serving 91 hospitals in over 40 countries. RAD-AID’s mission is to increase and improve radiology in the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as underserved areas of high-income countries (HICs). Radiology is a part of nearly every segment of health care, including pediatrics, obstetrics, medicine and surgery, making the absence of radiology a critical piece of global health disparity.
