In collaboration w/@MutemaMD's team, they performed 7 cases in 5 days, including the hospital’s first mitral valve repairs. A major focus of the trip was ensuring the team would be able to perform such operations in the future to increase capacity & access for patients in Zambia.
It was a pleasure to be back in Zambia for our 3rd annual mission and teach more complex valve surgery including the first mitral repair at National Heart Hospital and perhaps in Zambia!
The local team every year makes incredible progress to help the citizens of Zambia.
A privilege to have Prof G.Ailiwadi and his team work with us at National Heart Hospital, Zambia. We are grateful for your support and building capacity for safer , sustainable and accessible cardiac Surgery in Zambia.@GlobalCardiac@AATSHQ@worldheartfed@umichmedicine

Major gratitude @worldheartfed for invitation to discuss access to #GlobalCardiacSurgery at the #RHDCongress.
6 billion people lack access to safe, timely, & affordable cardiac surgical care.
This includes the 40+ MILLION people living with #RHD–a neglected disease of poverty.
