Dr. Tatian Muwanga’s Post

Africa’s health challenges are unique, and so should be its solutions. For too long, global surgery has been shaped by voices outside the continent. It's time for Africa to speak up, lead, and reshape its own surgical landscape—because no one understands our needs better than we do. The future of global surgery lies in Africa. Join me, Dr. Nicholas Okumu with my co-host Mac Duke as we host Dr. Salome Maswime , a world-renowned expert in global surgery and maternal health, for an insightful conversation on African-led solutions in global surgery. 🗓 Thursday, 12 September 🕔 5 PM SAST / 6 PM EAT 🎙️ The Global OR We’ll discuss: 🔹 How Africa’s unique challenges demand unique solutions in surgery. 🔹 The role of African experts in leading surgical innovation. 🔹 Real-world examples of African-driven healthcare improvements. 🔹 The role of mentorship, advocacy, and policy in expanding access to surgery. You won't want to miss this! Let’s redefine the future of surgery, together. 🌍 #GlobalSurgery #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalCare #AfricanLeadership #Mentorship #TheGlobalOR

Timely access to safe, affordable surgical care is an absolute human right. 💙 But, in reality, it remains out of reach for BILLIONS of people on the planet. 🌍 📈 This gap creates an enormous challenge in creating a fair, equitable global health system that works for everyone. We must ask global leaders to address this issue. We must leave no one behind. ✊
