World Health Imaging Alliance Poised to Bring Imaging Diagnostics and Data to the Developing World

by Barbara Kram, Editor | April 06, 2009

WHIA currently has a site established in South Africa and another under implementation in Guatemala. Close relationships with the Rotary International and local organizations have provided WHIA with a lineup of candidate sites interested in receiving its solution. In addition, WHIA has established relationships with many of the global not-for-profit organizations involved in providing imaging services.

"WHIA has a great model for delivering leading edge diagnostic tools to developing markets," says Ivy Walker, WHIA's CEO, "but that is just the beginning. Our efforts in data compilation can create a platform that can be used to develop improved tools for computer assisted diagnosis and public health data analysis. Ongoing partner and solution development under this model will continue to move WHIA toward this vision."
