In the autumn of 2023, the Foundation visited the Usambara Mountains, a fertile, densely populated yet also remote and challenging area. During this working visit, the possibilities for supporting obstetric ultrasound were thoroughly assessed. At several locations, ultrasound capacity was found to be insufficient.

This highlighted the need to first ensure adequate capacity before considering the expansion of mobile ultrasound services to remote areas. It was therefore decided that the Foundation’s primary focus would be on providing well-trained staff in the main clinics.

At the end of 2023, Ahmed Tunda, a junior sonographer from Lusotho Hospital, completed an intensive hands-on training with Regina Namumba in Tabora.

Despite several efforts to provide healthcare workers with proper training, the past years have not yielded the desired results. At the beginning of 2026, it was decided to conclude this project.
