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, we’re calling for bold, practical steps to close the gap.

From today, the term ‘junior doctor’ is being replaced by the more appropriate ‘resident doctor’.
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.
🚨We have a new title: BMA Residents 🚨
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.

🙌 couldn’t 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 ‘work’ just doesn’t feel like work and this collab is just my favourite. #friends
#laparoscopic training @mengo_hospital going to the next level w urology, gen surgery & gynae application!
The groundwork of setting up a lap sim lab w @abppc @jawdalton2 & local surgeons has come a long way from the DIY lap box I took out 2 yrs ago!
Lets keep dreaming big 💪
Excellent lap basic skills training session @MengoHospital well supported by Mr Kimuli @LeedsHospitals. Thanks to @abppc for starting the lap skill centre. Dr Simon Medical Director also tried some skills 👏👏👏👏@ASOU_Official #urolink @BAUSurology
Very proud to see the collaboration between @mengo_hospital & @LeedsEGS @LeedsHospitals flourishing. It’s exciting to see consultant colleagues supporting sustainable laparoscopic training in Uganda 🇺🇬 💪
