Only 4% of district hospitals and 27% of referral facilities in East, Central, and Southern Africa have functional C-arm X-ray machines (2022 study).
This leads to:
⚠️ Delays in diagnosis & treatment
⚠️ Higher complication rates
⚠️ Limited access to procedures
⚠️ Increased mortality & disability
Already several hundred learners registered.
It's really cool to read where everyone is joining from and what they'd like to learn about.
Come say hello in the discussion forum!
We are very proud to announce that #SURGhub has reached 10,000 registered learners.
In just 18 short months, we have achieved great impact on surgical training. And SURGhub is just getting started.

My favourite stat this month is that learners spent the equivalent of 6.5 years studying SURGhub's most popular course:

Spoiler alert ⚠️
Tomorrow, Thursday, SURGhub (the 🇺🇳 United Nations' learning platform for surgical care) will hit a major milestone:
10,000 registered learners.
Maybe you'll be the lucky one?

Glad to connect here, Dom! I joined Twitter in 2009 but it's something very different now.
I'm really hoping that #globalsurgery can find a new home on Bluesky. The energy we used to have on Twitter was great!
Maternal mortality rates are stagnating globally. Access to safe and appropriate Caesarean Section (a very common surgical procedure) is a key to change that!
