Ubuntu Stories
Yashawant Kumar Yadav – Nepal
Ubuntu speaks deeply to me as both a technologist and a Nepali. From the halls of Bir Hospital to the MRI suite, I’ve learned that our strength grows through shared learning and collaboration. After graduating in 2022, I began as a radiography technologist in a neuro-dedicated hospital, where I saw the profound impact imaging has on patient care and became determined to specialize further in MRI.
That passion carried into research and community building. I co-founded the Center for Medical Imaging Research (CMRI), which now hosts monthly webinars to promote education across Nepal and beyond. With the support of mentors and peers, I also helped establish the Nepal National Chapter of ISMRM and now serve as Secretary.
Today, Ubuntu guides everything I do. I continue to grow not just for myself, but for every student, technologist, and patient who benefits from collective progress in imaging. My journey is still beginning, but it is one we move forward on—together.
