Hastings Isaac Banda

Malawi

Hastings is a Medical Imaging Technologist with seven years of experience in radiology. Presently, he is a healthcare professional, ultrasound team coordinator, and a student. Hastings practices at the Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) while pursuing a master’s degree in diagnostic ultrasound at the Ernest Cook Ultrasound Research and Education Institute in Kampala, Uganda. In his career, he aims to lead through innovative and constructive contributions to professional growth and policy implementation. Hastings also strives to become an agent of change in cultural diversity, global understanding, and inclusiveness.

Impact Project

Hasting’s project aims to enhance the ultrasound skills of healthcare professionals at KCH through specialized training in general abdominal Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and ultrasound-guided procedures.

The program is tailored for two distinct groups: general radiographers, focusing on abdominal organ sonography and common pathologies, and critical care point workers (doctors and nurses from ICU, Trauma and Emergency Department, and HDUs), concentrating on abdominal trauma POCUS and ultrasound-guided fluid tapping.

The training will combine theoretical lessons with practical hands-on experience, covering topics such as sonographic anatomy, identification of trauma-related conditions, and techniques for diagnostic and therapeutic fluid tapping. Upon completion, participants will be equipped with advanced skills in ultrasound-based diagnosis and interventions, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes in critical care settings.
