Big boost for quality surgical care in #SierraLeone as #MoH, @MercyShips just launched a Safer Surgery Programme for Connaught Hospital. The 3-year plan is targeted at improving training of local medical staff and improving the quality of interventions in the surgical space.
In Dakar, conducting post-training follow-ups, capturing footage for an educational video project, and meeting with the Senegal MoH to discuss national guidelines and forming a #sterileprocessing society—encouraging and exciting progress! @MercyShips
🚨 New Publication Alert !! Our @safesurgery2020 study in Tanzania found that using the Surgical Safety Checklist can reduce post-caesarean sepsis.

Working with 10 Ugandan hospitals. 2/10 have functioning sterilizers. 0/10 have sterility indicators. Similar results found in 13 other LMIC’s. Q for NGO’s providing training on the @WHO#surgicalsafetychecklist: how is #safesurgery achieved without sterility assurance?
Before & After Never lies. The need for Sterile Processing education is hugeeee yet under funded.Poorly reprocessed instruments cause so many infections #stopinfections#sterilizationrocks
