And the most perfect icing on the cake was paying my respects to the Doyen of Global Surgery Professor Meara and presenting after him in the 1st ever session in Global Surgery at BAUS Birmingham 2023 meeting – at Birmingham, England

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

The @surgfoundation #WHA76 jumps straight to business. “The #SURGfund is going to mobilize new funds to expand live-saving surgical care systems in LMICs.”

At the @surgfoundation #WHA76 #GlobalSurgery event, @Atul_Gawande @USAIDGH shares a story of #success : a 19 y/o woman in Malawi 🇲🇼recognized the danger signs of pregnancy, came to the hospital on time and she was able to be evaluated and induced without needing a C-section.

At the #WHA76 @surgfoundation #globalsurgery event, @JNJGlobalHealth is the face of the private sector! We are so excited to get all the tips on how to effectively engage this sector and create strategic partnerships!

We know #SOTACareForAll is a cost-effective initiative, but how do we prove that? How do we convince governments, the private sector and international organizations to invest in it? We measure it and we show the #data. #WHA76 @Atul_Gawande @USAID @USAIDGH
GlobalSurgCommission retweeted
How does @JNJGlobalHealth measure #impact of their #globalsurgery projects? For pilots (current stage that they are at), it is all about the process metrics. #WHA76 @surgfoundation
GlobalSurgCommission retweeted
How do we sell #globalsurgery projects? From a policy maker perspective, we must pair our efforts for surgical system strengthening with the promise that this is not mutually exclusive from health prevention initiatives! Surgery is just another piece of the puzzle 🧩. #WHA76

1+1=3. @RifatAtun from @surgfoundation talks about synergies and being creative when it comes to #globalsurgery funding. #WHA76 @USAID @USAIDGH
GlobalSurgCommission retweeted
The private sector has not only provided funding, but also value and expertise to #globalhealth initiatives such as HIV, TB, etc. #GlobalSurgery should not be any different, it cannot be any different! @JNJGlobalHealth #WHA76 @surgfoundation

Time for the #hotseat 🔥. What do private sector investors need from the #globalsurgery community?
- Accountability
- Returns
- Capacity building for local communities
- 95-5% rule: stop spending most of the time on complications!!!!!!!!
