\r\nPoint-of-care ultrasound image-guided therapies (POCUS IGT) transcend geographic and socioeconomic boundaries and help bringing modern therapies to underserved communities and countries. Unfortunately, current commercial systems are not feasible to deploy in Mauritania due to prohibitive costs of purchase, support, and operation. We present the development of a versatile POCUS IGT system, optimized for financial and operating conditions in Mauritania. We aimed to create a system that is functionally similar to the popular CIVCO product, but costs only a small fraction of the price due to the support of inexpensive ultrasound scanners and its use of open-source software. 
\r\nMETHODS 
\r\nA 3D-printed plastic needle guide with multiple guide channels was designed to securely fit around the ultrasound probe, placed in a sterile cover, and fitted with a sterile guide sleeve. Open source targeting \u2026},
