The Hammed Ninalowo One — Why Technology Matters in Weak Health Systems | One2One (S4 E2)

Описание: Why technology isn’t a luxury in weak health systems - and how interventional radiology helps deliver high-quality care when resources are limited.

In many parts of the world, healthcare operates under severe constraints: limited funding, weak governance, poor infrastructure, and fragile systems. In such environments, technology is often misunderstood as a luxury rather than a necessity.

In this episode of One2One, Dr Hammed Ninalowo — diagnostic and interventional radiologist — explains why technology, and interventional radiology in particular, plays a critical role in delivering effective care when health systems are under strain.

In this conversation, we explore how minimally invasive procedures, imaging-led decision-making, and targeted use of technology can help compensate for systemic weaknesses and deliver life-saving treatment in low-resource settings in Nigeria and across Africa.
This is a grounded, practical discussion about delivering high-quality care — not in ideal systems, but in real ones.
