Organized by

Worldwide Radiology

We are a volunteer-led nonprofit organisation committed to reshaping the landscape of global healthcare. Since our inception in 2017, we have embarked on a mission that is as ambitious as it is vital: to enhance access to quality diagnostic imaging worldwide.

Our journey began as a small collective of UK-based radiologists, united by a shared experience of working in resource constrained radiology settings. Today, we've grown into an international team of approximately 70 short and long-term volunteers. Our diversity is our strength; our team comprises professionals from various imaging disciplines and medical specialties.

We take pride in the rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives brought by our team members, including those from our partner countries and their diaspora. Our goal is simple: to break down the barriers that restrict access to vital diagnostic services and to advocate, alongside our partners, for 'imaging for all'.
