On this week's episode, Rich Thayer and Mickey Urdea are interviewing Mohammed Majam, the Director for Medical Technologies at Ezintsha in Johannesberg, South Africa, whose portfolio encompasses Diagnostics, Implementation, and mHealth innovation projects. Mohammed helps lead a deep-dive discussion on what Ezintsha at Wits University brings to the global health space, how usability trials are conducted for diagnostic tests, and where the fields of self- and home-based diagnostic tests are headed in the post-pandemic era. Mohammed Majam is as skilled and savvy as any expert in his field, so please enjoy his thorough analysis in this interview.
Mohammed is a lifelong “Witsie” having not left the Wits University family from his first day back in 2002. He holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours degree in Biochemistry and Genetics, as well as completing an MBA (cum laude) from the institution in 2016. Mohammed has a passion for operational efficiencies which led him to obtain his Six Sigma Black Belt qualification.
