Africa's next generation of paediatric surgeons. 💙
🙌 We're delighted to have again partnered with @Smiletrain to provide scholarships for paediatric surgery trainees.
Investing in local surgeons helps bring life-saving surgical care closer to home for children in #LMICs. 🌎
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
Day 2 - first day of surgeries. 7 cases done…Upper limb, lower limb and plastics as well as some anaesthetic hands on teaching. A good first day all round, building on the 40+ cases screened in clinic yesterday #orthotwitter#GamMed#EpisodeIV

I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.
I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.
When I say I have the best team it’s not an exaggeration. Very grateful to have @mamadijarju82 as my right hand man. Everything we’ve achieved he’s been right there. 1st @SIGNtweeter nail, 1st hip replacement, 1st knee replacement. Extremely hardworking &versatile +loves to learn
I can’t think of a better gift for #DoctorsDay2021 or as a reward for @DrKebsun performing the countries first Total Knee Replacement then for one of these companies to help the country of Gambia get a flouro unit. @SiemensHealth@GEHealthcare@FujifilmHealth @PhilipsNA
#Health: Meet Dr Kebba Marenah of EFSTH
Dr Kebab Marenah is one of the country’s finest surgeons working at the main referral hospital in Banjul. We have tremendous respect for this U.K. trained surgeon for his passion and care for his patients. Keep ploughing on Dr Marenah.
Anyone happen to have a c-arm (image intensifier) going spare that could do with a good home? Our only 1 (for the whole country) is taking its last breaths. Things are about to get interesting😅 #Orthotwitter#MedicalImaging@GamMed10@GEHealthcare@SiemensHealth @ZiehmImaging
A chicken raised by a Swiss citizen fell from the roof of his house and suffered ble fxs.
Immediately, two vets were called and it underwent an operation that required the installation of two strips and 6 nails, at a cost of 7 thousand pounds.
