" I have personally witnessed the horrors and long-term effects inaccurate diagnoses leave on families of victims. My story is one out of millions in Nigeria. With an underfunded healthcare system, average income earners cannot access quality laboratory diagnoses, and while technology continues to ease access to quality health care, there is still a dearth of medical professionals trained to employ technology in modern-day medicine. As a Millennium Fellow, I will gain skills that will enhance my social impact and give me a strong platform to drive my work from my local community to various parts of my country. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Biomedical Telehealth Initiative
Biomedical Telehealth Initiative is aimed at revamping the performance of biomedical

was created to ensure that biomedical students with a passion for technology find a
place to channel their skills into achieving faster, affordable and reliable health care in
emergencies, especially through improved laboratory diagnosis.
