“I get asked a lot about the worst thing I’ve ever seen. It’s not something in a picture or video. It’s knowing that if a patient was in a high-income country, they would have lived.”

Powerful words from Dr. Sabrina Asturias at tonight’s #WHA76 #GlobalSurgery event.

Frontline workers are trapped between their purpose - saving lives - and failed policy systems, says Dr. Sabrina Asturias.

“The worst thing is knowing that if my patients were in HICs they would get better care”

[Nakul Raykar @NakulRaykar]

Couldn’t agree with this more. Sabrina is a born leader who inspires and then brings everyone along for the ride. We at @HarvardPGSSC have had the privilege of working with her and looking forward to a lot more. @jcpuyanamd #WHA76

Time for the #hotseat 🔥. What do private sector investors need from the #globalsurgery community?

Dr. Sabrina Asturias:
🔥LMIC frontliners are experts in deciding who lives & who doesn’t not because of an ethics course but due to the limited resources we have
🔥Patients surpass resources which limits our ability to give optimal care

París no era una ciudad ciclista hace pocos años.

Ahora lo es.

La cultura ciclista no es innata, se construye a través de infraestructura.
