Healthcare Perspectives

Healthcare Perspectives is a podcast by Siemens Healthineers about medical breakthroughs with the power to improve the lives of patients and their families everywhere. Listen to the latest episodes here.

Access to quality healthcare is still out of reach for millions worldwide 鈥 particularly in low- and middle-income countries and underserved rural areas.

One of the biggest drivers of this gap is a shortage of trained healthcare workers, a challenge made worse by workforce migration, limited local training opportunities, and uneven distribution of resources. From stories of practicing in isolation in remote Nepal, to advancing imaging education in Malawi, to building global learning platforms like SURGHub, our guests share how sustainable, in-country solutions can empower healthcare professionals, break down systemic barriers, and save lives.

In this episode of Healthcare Perspectives, host Hagen Weissapfel, Director of Education and Customer Services for Global Access to Care at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by

  • Melissa Culp, Executive Vice President of Member Engagement at the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and
  • Geoff Ibbotson, MD, surgeon and Executive Director of the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF).
