100 times more likely to die! Caesarean sections (CS) can save the lives of mothers & newborns; when done safely & on time. However, in low- and middle-income countries, CS often are NOT safe, with women facing mortality rates *100 times* higher than in high-income countries.

UNITAR is proud to collaborate with @surgfoundation and @RCSI_Irl on @SURGhub, making high-quality trainings accessible to surgical care workers around the world.
"... if trainees can just go to one place and find all the resources they need, that's ideal." We asked our learners, content partners, and committee members what they appreciate most about @SURGhub. πŸ‘‰ Register in seconds: surghub.org/

As pediatric surgeons, we work with some of the most vulnerable families every day. But it also helps to reflect openly on our own vulnerability. Because doing so allows us to more genuinely understand and share our patients' journeys. My recent piece. ijwpc.mcgill.ca/article/view…
New issue on #vulnerability in #medicine just published. Personal narratives told with honesty and full self-disclosure showing that β€œ#Vulnerability is not weakness.”@BreneBrown #Physicians dare to be #vulnerable. @McGillMed @McGill_DOM @cusm_muhc ijwpc.mcgill.ca
