CHESA Grand Rounds 7.2021: Partnerships to advance global surgery
Over the past nine years Dr. Phyllis Kisa MBCHB, MMed, from Makerere University and Dr. Doruk Ozgediz, MD, MSc and Director of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Center of Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA) have gained invaluable perspectives and lessons learned through their partnerships and collaborative efforts in global surgery. For the inaugural IGHS-CHESA Grand Rounds on June 24, 2021, they provided their unique insights as pediatric surgeons, and in the context of their respective home countries of Uganda and the United States. Both physicians conveyed the importance of sustainability and investment in long-term partnerships with other clinicians and stakeholders in an effort to confront the surgical burden of disease.
