Neurological disorders remain a growing public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where limited resources, workforce shortages, and infrastructure constraints continue to impact access to care. Neuroimaging, especially MRI, plays a critical role in improving diagnosis and clinical management, yet its adoption in these regions is constrained by infrastructure, financing, and training gaps. The Scan With Me (SWiM) program addresses these challenges through a structured, train-the-trainer model designed to strengthen MRI capacity. Since 2023, the program has trained 233 MRI technologists across 25 LMICs, delivering extensive instruction, hands-on observerships, and peer-to-peer collaboration to optimize imaging protocols and improve clinical practice. In parallel, technological innovation is expanding access to MRI. The installation of a 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max system in Rwanda demonstrates how simplified infrastructure requirements, reduced energy consumption, and flexible deployment can enable high-quality diagnostic imaging in resource-constrained environments. Together, scalable training initiatives and innovative MRI solutions can empower healthcare professionals, democratize access, enhance diagnostic precision and clinical decision-making, and ultimately improve patient outcomes across resource-constrained settings. Shoutout and thank you to the authors and co-authors!

poor reimbursements from InsCo - plus the imminent threat of AI chatbots - I don't see there being many going this route unless from families with great fortunes, because it likely means of living near the poverty line.
