TRANSFORMATION!
First ever Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery done in Sierra Leone at Connaught Hospital. Meaning, patients who require lungs/chest surgery will no longer be cut wide open but instead get smaller cuts to the chest. Faster recovery, less painful & fewer complications.
Our first set of delegates (@ARM2021_SLeone) arriving at the Bintumani Hotel Freetown. For the very first time #SierraLeone is hosting medical students from across the globe. Fascinating week of sessions and social events in store. @IFMSA@mohs_sl#arm2022#medstudents#slemsa
