Packed rooms day in, day out for #GICSIV with pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, researchers, and advocates from around the world: moving the needle towards a world in which no child should be left to die as a result of a surgically treatable condition. @GICSurgery

[GICS @GICSurgery]

We are so grateful that so many nurses are able to attend #GICSIV. Good nursing care is essential for good surgical practice. Thank you Prof Lakhoo for giving them a voice!!

#ASOS2 Trial starts recruiting in Mali & Uganda today. Next week South Africa, and then after that Sierra Leone recruit. Good luck to all these countries, sites and investigators. Certainly start of a new era for African collaborative research https://t.co/M1RtkjoG8r @AfricanSOS

[Bruce Biccard @BruceBiccard]

Basically, it appears that most countries don't train enough doctors (Canada is 25% short). To the other extreme; Africa which we know from @AfricanSOS needs between 20 and 50 times more specialists to reach the accepted minimum for safe surgery (20-40 per 100 000 population)
