Happy to have presented our research on functional surgical capacity and geographic access in Rwanda at The 3rd KFHR & AHSU Annual Research Conference.
It was an incredible opportunity to share our work, exchange ideas with fellow researchers and health professionals, and contribute to the ongoing conversation on strengthening equitable surgical systems in Africa.
Proud to represent our team and grateful for everyone who supported this journey. Research, collaboration, and innovation remain essential in building stronger and more accessible healthcare systems for all.

Last week, we successfully completed a 2-day training for passionate student volunteers from across different provinces! π Our focus? Mastering community engagement and addressing harmful health-seeking behaviors and myths surrounding domestic injuries.
We are incredibly proud to collaborate on the My Safe and Healthy Community (MySHeC) project! π·πΌ Alongside @OperationSmile, @UGHE_org, and @NkafuPolicy, we are taking action to advocate for safe and timely surgical care. π₯β¨ #GlobalSurgery#MySHeC#InciSioNRwanda
Despite available clinical services, nearly 43% of injured Rwandans seek traditional healers instead of formal care. By empowering our youth to educate communities about burns, falls, and fractures, we are building a safer, healthier future. ππͺ #CommunityHealth#YouthLeadership

We are heartbroken to share that Dr. Dominique Vervoort has passed away after a long battle with melanoma. He was 31.
Co-founder of #InciSioN, architect of early global surgery advocacy, and host of IGSS2018. Dominique helped build the movement many now stand on.
My friend Dom, a bright star who inspired countless people in global surgery, created the field of global cardiac surgery & led the charge on advocacy as we know it on Twitter, is gone way too soon. My prayers are with his family & loved ones. He will forever be an inspiration
