A recent Global Surgical Education Journal article shares promising outcomes of a laparoscopic simulation curriculum and lab implemented at MUHAS in Tanzania with leadership and support from CHESA. Read the article: buff.ly/3CKudiX

In the 2nd week of World Regional Anesthesia & #PainMedicine, we highlight the global #anesthesia workforce. A 2016 @WFSAorg survey, updated by @UCSFAnesthesia & CHESA, reveals critical gaps in anesthesia training & workforce availability in LMICs. Study: buff.ly/4hFL3yy

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID. They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide. What insanity and cruelty to break that.

Delayed diagnosis of children with ARM remains a challenge worldwide. Emphasis on newborn perineal examinations and possible visible anomalies during postnatal care is recommended to ensure timely intervention. @FelixOyania #WJPS_Official #SoMe4PedSurg 🔗wjps.bmj.com/content/7/4/e0…

In this cohort study, 17% of EDs in the US had high pediatric readiness. Raising all EDs to high pediatric readiness was estimated to prevent more than one-quarter of deaths among children receiving emergency services. @CQ_Stephens, @drauerbach ja.ma/4huvAlh
