In this episode of Diagnexia Dialogues, the focus is on global outreach in pathology, particularly the need for education and mentorship in under-resourced areas. Host Professor Runjan Chetty is joined by experts Dr. Kenneth Fleming, Professor Richard Byers, and Dr Shahin Sayed to discuss challenges such as the critical shortage of pathologists worldwide, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, and initiatives to bridge this gap.
