@SaferSurgery @MrsMaswime Welcome Professor Maswime!

[Lifebox @SaferSurgery]

Lifebox is excited to announce the appointment of Professor Salome Maswime to our Global Governance Council. Professor @MrsMaswime is recognized as a global #surgery expert, with extensive research in maternal #health. Learn more about the appointment: https://t.co/daR0QQ4gYw

[Dr helen allott🇪🇺🇮🇪🇫🇷 @helenallott1]

@theAliceRoberts It cannot be in any doubt that this will result in a rise in the already high rate of maternal deaths in USA when compared to most other developed nations. Laws do not prevent abortion but drive it into the hands of unsafe abortionists with dire consequences for womens health

Congratulations to the team! We show the current gaps in #neurosurgical #training in #LMICs. #GlobalNeurosurgery @i_amNanaKojo @deengarba @AdammarMD et al. @GNS_PGSSC @GlobalNeuroSurg

Brilliant new pieces calling for more consideration in the ways that we label people and countries.

[Ṣẹ̀yẹ Abímbọ́lá @seyeabimbola]

Two new @GlobalHealthBMJ editorials — inviting us to be more thoughtful about the labels we place on countries/people:

1. The use, misuse & overuse of the ‘LMIC’ category https://t.co/n8bAJ7l2Er

2. How we classify countries & people — and why it matters https://t.co/EqR05IRMni

[Lifebox @SaferSurgery]
