@AfricanSOS is a phenomenal group of 2000 clinician researchers from 1200 hospitals in 43 African countries. Predominantly unfunded, they have mapped surgical & critical illness outcomes across Africa and have started initiatives to decrease the unacceptably high mortality

The All-Africa Emergency, Critical and Operative Care (ECO) Congress hosted by the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia has recognised APORG for outstanding leadership in advancing collaborative perioperative research and strengthening evidence-based surgical care in Africa.

The WHO says Denmark has become 1st EU country to eliminate the mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. WHO boss Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it marked a major public health achievement for the country, which has low rates of HIV and syphilis among pregnant women

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Research questions fall into one of three categories: descriptive, predictive, or causal.

How can researchers decide which concepts should be described in causal language and which should not?

A huge loss for the Global Surgery community loosing a pioneer. Rest in Peace and Power Dominique Vervoort. He led a movement across the world inspiring medical students, doctors and surgeons to become part of Global Surgery especially in Africa. @InciSioNGlobal @HarvardPGSSC

Thank you @rmoonesinghe That is very kind of you. You have always advocated for our work. I look forward to learning more about equity in health with you.

[Ramani @rmoonesinghe]

I rarely post anymore but couldn’t not acknowledge the amazing experience I’ve had at @BruceBiccard inaugural lecture @NDCNOxford. Bruce is genuinely an inspiration- a humble brilliant clinician scientist who advocates for those unable to do so for themselves. Proud to know him

This is why the work of the African Perioperative Research Group #APORG is so important.

[Anesthesia&Analgesia @IARS_Journals]

🌍 The review identified limitations such as small sample sizes, under-representation of high surgical burden disciplines, & poor reporting of study outcomes. The clinical trial capacity is limited to a few countries/institutions, & quality remains poor

[Anesthesia&Analgesia @IARS_Journals]

🌍 The objectives of the review were to document the geographical distribution and characteristics of perioperative care RCTs within SSA, and to evaluate their reporting quality using the CONSORT-2010 checklist.
