A brilliant 25th @cosecsa annual scientific conference in 🇧🇮. Examining candidates; graduating fellows; meeting old & new friends. All whilst we push towards closing the human resource gap in Sub-Sahara to increase access to safe surgical care. Kudos local organizing Comm ABUC 🇧🇮

[Synergistics Wellness Africa @healthylifeeac]

Training spaces like this matter because the region still has a serious shortage of surgeons.

Sub Saharan Africa has fewer than two surgeons for every one hundred thousand people in many countries.

When teams learn together and build skills, it helps close that gap and brings care closer to the communities that need it.
