Liesl Annandale completed her B.Rad (diagnostic) at the University of Pretoria in 2004 and her B.Tech (ultrasound) degree at the University of Johannesburg in 2010. After completing her studies, she has worked both in clinical and commercial environments.

Liesl dedicated the past eight years to uplifting communities through POCUS education in various low-resource African settings, including Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

She has a passion for education and the amelioration it ensures communities. She believes that, with the limited resources and poor economic growth, each of us is responsible for leading the way in improving the quality of health care provided to women in our African countries.

She is convinced that we can achieve this with continuous investment in education, the vision and goodwill of dedicated experts, committed Ministries of Health, vital partners in companies, and the selfless, hardworking healthcare professionals investing their time for the general good of society.

She is an avid trail runner in her free time, enjoys spending time outdoors with her boisterous two sons and adventurous husband, and is an enthusiastic supporter of the local Winelands she calls home. Time is her most significant investment, and books are a devoted companion.
