Global Impact

Expanding a 50-year legacy to global healthcare ecosystems

We transform healthcare worldwide by creating equitable access to quality care through certification, commitment to the highest standards and certification, and implementing innovative solutions.

50 years, one goal:

Improved healthcare outcomes.

Now in Africa.

Now with an office in Nairobi, we combine global recognition with local focus.

We continue the pursuit of improved healthcare outcomes, through education and validation of clinical proficiency for healthcare workers in Africa.

We are achieving this goal by:

Developing and implementing a global standard for medical imaging training and certification for frontline clinicians

Working to help communities and governments to design, implement, and maintain training and certification programs for obstetric point-of-care ultrasound (OPOCUS)

Local need and presence

lnteleos chose Nairobi as the location for lnteleos’ first Africa office since Kenya is at the forefront of setting standards and policies that will transform patient care.

Maternal and fetal mortality rates remain stubbornly high in much of Africa. This preventable reality is especially true in less affluent and rural communities. which are historically underserved.

With the goal of improving health outcomes and wellbeing of mothers and babies, The Kenya Ministry of Health has set out the certification requirements as a part of its National Obstetrics Point of Care Ultrasound (O-POCUS) Guidelines, to standardize the provision of O-POCUS services across all levels of care.

The MOH guidelines also specify that Registered Nurses trained in midwifery, Registered Midwives, and Clinical Officers providing reproductive health care are now able to incorporate clinical ultrasound into their clinical practice.

While lnteleos certifications are accepted across the globe, Kenya is the only nation that requires certification for OPOCUS trainers. The lnteleos POCUS Obstetrics Essentials Certification was developed specifically to address these needs.

The training and certification program provides a blend of online modules, clinical assessments, and peer evaluations designed for real-world application.
