Project Africa

In August, 2000 ultrasonographer Ann Polin, BS, RDMS began a year long sabbatical to Ghana to establish the first diagnostic ultrasound training program of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa. This is an opportunity to make a direct contribution toward improving the overall standard of living in this peaceful country where adequate health care is often difficult to find.  OBGYN.net is proud to support Ann in this noble endeavor. OBGYN.net has been providing its readers with detailed accounts of Project Africa, beginning with Ann's pre-journey preparations and ending with her return to the United States in summer, 2001.
