This week, Jonathan is joined by Sharon Allen, Co-founder and Executive Director of the World Telehealth Initiative (WTI), a non-profit organisation. Using innovative technology to connect volunteer healthcare professionals with those in need, WTI provides sustainable medical expertise to under-resourced communities around the world. They discuss how Allen came to co-found the WTI and detail the valuable work that the organisation does worldwide. Allen also touches on how COVID-19 helped develop telemedicine and how it is being used to help Ukrainian surgeons while at war.
