Laura Findeiss, (Atlanta, USA) president of SIR, talks to Interventional News about the society’s efforts to improve access to interventional radiology (IR) in communities across the globe. Findeiss touches on the issues that hinder the widespread adoption of IR, including lack of infrastructure, training, and government recognition. India and Egypt, Findeiss explains, are two countries where SIR is seeing increased collaboration around accreditation and recognition of the specialty. Findeiss spoke to Interventional News at the 2019 SIR Annual Scientific Meeting in Austin, USA (23–28 March).
