Very nice to be in Strasbourg visiting the amazing facilities of @IrcadFrance, arguably the best center in the world for comprehensive training in laparoscopic and robotic #surgery. Wonderful meeting with the Founder, The Professor Jacques Marescaux. #globalsurgery @SurgeryUTHSC

Oke Ogaga, 4th year @uthsc medical student brilliantly presents our research on gender and ethnic representation of keynote and plenary speakers at national surgical meetings. Bottomline: Blacks, Asians, and Latinos remain very underrepresented. #ASC2023 @oogaga22 @SurgeryUTHSC

So proud of the hardworking Dr Odette Kibu of @NkafuPolicyInst for the very nicely presented research on barriers and motivations for health insurance subscription among #Cameroon-ians. There's a major need for universal health coverage in the country #ASC2023 @kibuodette @uthsc

“Decolonizing #globalsurgery does not mean that HIC based practitioners should stop working with, partnering with & supporting their LMIC-based counterparts. It simply means there must be fundamental changes in how this is done and who drives the collaboration” - @DenisForetia

To Decolonize #GlobalSurgery and #GlobalHealth We Must Be Radically Intentional. My new piece in @AmJSurgery We must ensure agency for our LMIC-based partners. bit.ly/3yLXt3O @uthsc @uthscmedicine @surgeryUTHSC @pturnermd @paimadhu @AmCollSurgeons @abebesurg #ACSCC22
