A5- the founder of Operation Giving Back (facs.org/ogb) @KizCasey with us on the chat tonight has led the way for surgical society involvement in #GlobalSurgery! #awschat
A4- time is money. know what you need and ask for it, up front. supportive partners and chairs @UNCSurgery make it possible! #GlobalSurgery #awschat
A4- @Fogarty_NIH, @AmCollSurgeons also have research funding. #awschat
A4- this is a challenge. put together small grants: institutional, foundation, industry, etc. rely on donations of supplies and experienced volunteers' time. #awschat
A3 Great question @ahalpernunc! Recurring missions with a focus on helping local surgeons achieve their goals may be one way to start. Surgical capacity building programs embedded in local non-profit healthcare service organizations e.g. @PIH are another opportunity. #awschat
Q3 Residents and Attendings: @TeamHeartRwanda for service and local trianing/capacity building. #awschat
Responding to local physician and patient needs is very important. Training in surgical practice is one of the greatest contributions we can make globally. #awschat
Q2- Health including surgical care is a human right! Surgery is an integral part of a strong health system. #GlobalSurgery #awschat
Wonderful to see so much interest from students and others in #Globalsurgery! The field has evolved over time with a variety of opportunities to get involved. #awschat
A1- Hello! This is Gita Mody @gitamody @UNCSurgery. #Globalsurgery encompasses humanitarian and academic efforts. Increasing surgical access despite limitations in resources is at its core. #AWSchat
