Learning is fun 👌

Chris has a simple message, as both a British army veteran and the son of a Holocaust survivor: the genocide in Gaza must end, British cooperation with the IDF must stop, and Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation.

VAR can be ruthless... take note of the latter part of the video where my brother, @ISMAILACEESAY, maps out the path to the presidency. It might not be that easy, but stranger things have happened.

Another succesful @GamMed10 visit to @OrthoEfsth just ended. Grateful to the local and visiting teams as well as the sponsors and well wishers for making it another resounding success. Looking forwards to visit No 8 in November 2024 and more wins #Gambia #Orthotwitter #collabs

@Oceesay Alpha dua 😅

@Fantitafofana @Moherst_GMB Out of curiosity, what did the doctor get?

[Salome Maswime @MrsMaswime]

Global surgery- an African perspective. My talk at WACS on the importance of strengthening surgical systems in Africa. A good surgeon will not have good outcomes in a weak or dysfunctional health system. #PresidentialSession

Press release

[EFSTH_Ortho @OrthoEfsth]

We are building for the future & are proud to announce that, after a visit in Feb, we have been judged good enough to be given accreditation by the West African College of Surgeons to start training the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons at EFSTH. Meet our 1st residents

[EFSTH_Ortho @OrthoEfsth]

In addition to now training residents at home, we also currently have 2 residents in Malawi @SusoMariama (Dec 2020) & @AngelJaiteh (Dec 2021) training at @QECH_Chipatala sponsored by @TheAOAlliance They should be back with us as specialists in 2025/26 #GenderBalance #OrthoTwitter

3yrs ago today we performed the 1st ever total hip replacement at @efsthsurgery . It didn't get as much traction as the first knee, but since then I have gone on to do 40 hips in total (at least half in the govt hospital). The 40th was this morning fittingly #Gambia #OrthoTwitter

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

Job opportunity! Work with the ⁦@TheAOAlliance⁩ Gambia Country Initiative as a project officer, helping coordinate & facilitate various arms of our project with the overall goal of improving our care of the injured in The Gambia.

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

The other 30% are things completely out of my control and that I have surprisingly little influence to affect 😅 We still have a long way to go and a lot of support is still needed, but we can safely now say the country has a functioning and progressive orthopaedic department

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

3 years ago, I was interviewed for my job @efsth_official and went armed with a 4 page doc of what I wanted to work with them to achieve. Looking back at the doc, I am comforted that I have achieved about 70% of it, which isn’t bad considering all things. #TakingStock #SetGoals

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

Proud day today as HOD @efsthsurgery when 3 of our junior docs passed their #MRCS @RCSnews The first ever to do so out of The Gambia I believe. A great trio with bright futures (Drs Jaiteh, Camara & Jabang) It's been a good year for exam passes from the dept #Surgeons #DiyaaKuyaa

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

The All-star lineup of @wfc_gambia lead doctors. Enviable if I may say so myself. A vibrant group of young Gambian doctors, with expertise drawn from all around the globe, home to serve and to teach the next generation of doctors. #Specialists #GambianExcellence More to come…

[Kebba Marenah @DrKebsun]

Busy past week teaching on the @TheAOAlliance Non-operative Fracture Management course, with all local faculty. Aiming to standardise the level of initial fracture care at all facilities across the country . Training & sustainability are at the core of our country initiative

[Adam Rosen, DO @DrAdamRosen]

Can @SiemensHealth or @GEHealthcare or @FujifilmHealth or @PhilipsNA help out this doctor and the county of Gambia. They are in need of a c-arm unit to continue to care for their patients.
