Important topics discussed in #IndigenousHealth in #GlobalSurgery. This includes investment in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion- a culture shift is needed. Let’s stop being uncomfortable with this! Understand and acknowledge bias and racism. #BRT2021

This #WorldHealthDay2021 is a call to eliminate health inequities, as part of a year-long global campaign to bring people together to build a fairer, healthier world. From SURG-Africa we want to subscribe to this call with our work in #GlobalSurgery.

Happy #NationalDoctorsDay from the #GlobalSurgery team @UAOGS! Thank you to our future and current doctors for the work they do in following #surgicalethics to provide #patientcare, develop systems to increase healthcare capacity and provide #advocacy work in LMIC.
