every aspect of our research aims to make lives better for patients passing through the surgical ecosystem

@CovidSurg is a spin-off & relevant to everyone

[Prof. Faustin NTIRENGANYA @Fostino21]

YES THEY CAN.
...Research should be integral part of clinical surgery....These two are not conflicting at all even in LMICs.
..."When you don't count.. YOU DON'T COUNT"..
As busy as one may be, taking a look behind or beside... and reflect on what he/she does.. is Good practice
