Dedicated to saving mothers’ & babies’ lives in underserved communities worldwide through ultrasound education.

Every two minutes…

Every two minutes, a woman somewhere dies of pregnancy complications. By far most of these deaths occur in isolated, majority world communities—and most are easily avoidable. NYAGI exists to assure that every expecting mother in the world has quick, affordable, and effective access to basic prenatal ultrasound.

NYAGI brings together healthcare providers, cause-driven organizations, and technology companies to provide scalable remote, live, and in-person training in basic prenatal ultrasound in low-income, majority world countries. Success equips healthcare providers in these regions where healthcare services are most limited with the basic ultrasound skills necessary to triage pregnancies.

NYAGI has developed innovative and effective remote training in basic prenatal ultrasound built around a scalable hub-and-spoke model. NYAGI’s Expert Trainers train regional Master Trainers who are certified and supported in training local rural healthcare providers. The NYAGI approach combines:

  1. Specially designed asynchronous, self-paced online learning

  2. Supplemental live interactive webinars

  3. Expert-guided just-in-time xNAV reference software from 7D Imaging

  4. In-person validation and certification of Master Trainers

  5. The Butterfly portable point-of-care ultrasound system

Highlight: Somaliland

In August 2024, NYAGI partnered with the dōTERRA Foundation to establish a transformative ultrasound training program at Edna Adan Hospital in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland. This initiative is designed to be self-sustaining, offering remote instruction, educational resources, and ongoing local support. By equipping healthcare providers with vital skills and technology, this program extends life-saving medical care to underserved communities across the country.
