Chidiebere Ibe a young Nigerian who aspires to be a neurosurgeon recently got the online world talking after his medical illustration of a black fetus in a womb went viral on social media.

This particular medical illustration which has already gathered over 75,000 likes on Instagram is not just uncommon in the medical field but has also exposed the lopsided racial representation of black people in medical illustrations commonly found in textbooks. This feat has seen him receive a couple of invites from international media outlets including BBC, CNN, ABC, CBC and a host of others.

“I started medical illustrations to promote the use of Black skin illustrations in our medical textbooks to depict a typical African person. Textbooks are essentially invincible to medical training. They walk medical trainees through conditions they will encounter during their practice. Yet, most medical illustrations are on the Caucasian skin. This lack of diversity has important implications for medical trainees and their future patients because many conditions and signs look different based on the patient’s skin color and therefore the Black skin should be equally represented,” Ibe said on his GoFundMe page.

Mr Ibeh quests to promote medical diversity has seen him make other dark skin medical illustrations which can be found in his Instagram handle @ebereillustrate.

He recently got admitted into the university of Kyiv but will need your support to afford the tuition fees. You can donate via his GoFundMe page.
