Ten years after the World Health Assembly resolution on global surgery, progress is real, but millions still lack access to safe, timely care.
This #GlobalSurgeryDay, weโre calling for bold, practical steps to close the gap.

From today, the term โjunior doctorโ is being replaced by the more appropriate โresident doctorโ.
This follows work done by your reps at a national level, and has been picked up by the mainstream media.
Congratulations on the start of a new era to your profession.
18 Sep 2024
๐จWe have a new title: BMA Residents ๐จ
A long time coming, and after much hard work, junior doctors will now be called Resident Doctors.
This new title better reflects their huge range of skills and responsibilities.
Read more about the change here ๐

๐ couldnโt agree more! The @mengo_hospital surgical team are fantastic colleagues, dedicated to becoming a centre of excellence for laparoscopic training

4 station lap centre with remote proctorship capability, 2 stacks and one amazing, committed team of brilliant Ugandan surgeons. Dr Luweesi, Dr Mwanje and Dr Billy leading the way.
Sometimes โworkโ just doesnโt feel like work and this collab is just my favourite. #friends
