🌸 Celebrating an Icon of Neurosurgery on International Women’s Day On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the remarkable legacy of Prof. Yoko Kato, a true icon and pioneer in the field of neurosurgery. Through her visionary leadership, unwavering dedication, and exceptional surgical excellence, she has inspired and guided thousands of women neurosurgeons across the world to pursue their dreams and thrive in a traditionally challenging field. As the President of the @AsianCNS Prof. Kato has not only advanced neurosurgical science but has also built a powerful global community of women in neurosurgery—mentoring, empowering, and opening doors for future generations. Her passion for education, mentorship, and international collaboration continues to shape the careers of countless young neurosurgeons. Today, we honor her extraordinary contributions and celebrate the enduring inspiration she provides to women striving for excellence in neurosurgery worldwide. 🌍🧠✨

Grateful to the @NYIslanders and everyone who joined Hockey with a Heart in support of Smile Train.Your generosity raised $42,362 to help children access life-changing cleft surgery and comprehensive care. Thank you for standing with us — and a special thanks to @LidiaBastianich

This year showed us the power of teamwork! Thanks to you, children received life-changing cleft care and new smiles. But our work isn’t done yet. Your support can transform even more futures. Let’s make the rest of 2025 unforgettable! Learn more: smiletrainafrica.org.

Every child deserves to thrive, including those born with clefts. With timely cleft care—surgery, nutrition, speech therapy, and support—they can flourish. 💙 Know a child with a cleft? Help us find them at Africa@smiletrain.org #CleftCare #SmileTrain

@sang_udi2 AI will shift care from late human intervention to early prediction and precision action—automating pattern recognition, guiding decisions, and enabling minimally invasive or biological solutions, with clinicians supervising, contextualizing, and ethically leading care.

How in the future will we solve the problems to which neurosurgeons/Pathologists/Radiologists/ are currently our best answers?

Honored to receive an Honorary Fellowship from @cosecsa at this year’s Scientific Conference in Burundi. Grateful to our incredible @Smiletrain partners across Africa who make sustainable cleft care possible every day. Thank you so much to COSECSA for this recognition.

No greater pleasure than to help train the next generation of neurosurgeons. #spine #technology #navigation #robotics

Still waiting for the “now it all makes sense” moment, but enjoying the plot twists so far 😅 Here’s to whatever’s next , cheers 🥂. The future is exciting, mate

One year ago today I walked across the stage, degree in hand, convinced I had it all figured out 😂. Since then: finished internship, learned more in 12 months than in 5 years of university, celebrated small wins, and realized “the plan” is just a rough draft.

Congratulations to the 12 new Smile Train-supported COSECSA scholars!🥳 Your dedication to surgical excellence will create more smiles across Africa. Smile Train is proud to partner with @cosecsa to make this possible.

Join me in celebrating this exceptional young surgeon. @BergeneJerry Dr. Eyerusalem, a COSECSA #Neurosurgery examinee from Ethiopia has scored the HIGHEST result in the 2025 @cosecsa Neurosurgery speciality exam held in Burundi. Soar high Jerry! Proud of you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
