Description
What if you could be part of a mission that brings essential healthcare to those who need it most, but are often overlooked? Today, we open the door to the world of telehealth with none other than Sharon Allen, the dynamic CEO behind the World Telehealth Initiative. Sharon’s passion for travel and smart business savvy has led her to create an organization that has literally been a life-saver for vulnerable communities worldwide. You'll hear about the cutting-edge technology that is bridging the gap between medical providers globally and these communities, bringing them much-needed healthcare access. Beyond the technology, we dive into the reality of serving in regions with limited resources such as Haiti, Nigeria, and Ukraine. Sharon brings these experiences to life, taking us through unique challenges and innovative solutions devised to make healthcare accessible. She shares stories of determination and resilience, like dealing with safety issues and forging sustainable partnerships with local clinics. We'll also discuss the current situation in Ukraine, where WTI is doing some fantastic work. This includes providing combat trauma training and assisting in the establishment of a national telehealth system. You definitely don't want to miss hearing about the significant impact WTI is making, and the lives being saved in the process.
