GAIA is thrilled to partner with the Inteleos Foundation and our district partners to expand access to obstetric ultrasound scanning in rural Malawi -- a tool that is providing critical diagnostic support to our mobile clinic clinicians and reassurance to pregnant clients.

🗣️The Inteleos Foundation is proud to announce the five recipients of the 2026 MedMissions Award! This year's recipients are bringing point-of-care ultrasound to frontline health workers, improving outcomes for high-risk pregnancies in Malawi, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Uganda, and Côte d'Ivoire.👏Congratulations to these inspiring organizations strengthening maternal-fetal healthcare through diagnostics.
