The Radiology Report Podcast

In this powerful episode of The Radiology Report, we sit down with Dr. Lilian Ebuoma, a breast radiologist, U.S. Navy veteran, certified coach, and changemaker, whose mission is saving lives through early detection and equitable care. As the founder of Lilly Women’s Health and the Lilly Cares Foundation in Nigeria, Dr. Ebuoma is working to close the vast gap in breast cancer outcomes between the U.S. and Africa, where access to screening and early diagnosis is critically limited. With just 300 radiologists serving a population of over 200 million, Nigeria sees more than 30,000 women die annually from late-stage breast cancer, a stark contrast to the 90% survival rate seen in the U.S. But Dr. Ebuoma is changing that. In this episode, we cover: Her journey from Nigeria to the U.S. and from military service to medicine How she’s leading the charge in expanding access to breast imaging across underserved communities The cultural and systemic barriers to early detection in Nigeria and how she’s helping overcome them The inspiration behind her book, Love Your Breasts, Love Yourself Her passion for coaching and empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders
