Surgical Association of Malawi

Dear all, please take note that the conference date HAS CHANGED due to logistical challenges beyond SAM's control. We will communicate further details in due course. Sincere apologies for any inconveniences. Truly, SAM executive.

Collings, 4, accidentally swallowed a hooked nail. 😰 He couldn't breathe & was rushed to hospital. In a KidsOR theatre, Dr. Bip Nandi removed the nail & saved his life. Without Dr. Bip & the OR, Collings wouldn't be here. 🙌 💙 We put life-saving tools in life-changing hands.

Excited to become a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with Dr Elizabeth @drlizmwach #FACS #ACSCC2021 !! Congratulations to all initiates @m_mutebi @arumwesta

Meet Tamandani 👋 At just 3, she was rushed to Kumuzu Hospital, Malawi, having stopped breathing due to a foreign object stuck in her throat. Thankfully, she was met by Dr. Nandi, who, in a KidsOR room installed that year, was able to save her life. We love stories like this💙

One of the best things about the face to face part of a hybrid meeting is that you can catch up with old friends like Vanessa Msosa surgeon from Malawi currently undertaking a breast surgery fellowship in UK @WSESurgery #WSES2021
