Every child deserves access to anesthesia, surgery and nursing care. Today we celebrate our nurses who act as family and child advocates, without whom the operating room and wards would not function. #SurgicalNursingCare4Kids #SurgicalCare4Kids #AnesthesiaCare4Kids #GICSV

We're bringing surgery to children across the globe. 🌎 🙌 One of the best parts of doing this is working alongside amazing local surgical teams. With #GlobalChildrensSurgeryDay coming up, we spoke to them to find out why children's access to surgery is so critical. 💙

Today is Global Children's Surgery Day! Thank you to our patients, families, members and partners for this support as we strive to provide safe and effective surgical care to all the world's children. #SurgicalCare4Kids #SurgicalNursingCare4Kids #AnesthesiaCare4Kids

The best team 😊

This weekend in Kampala, Uganda, we hosted our first-ever CHESA Fellows Retreat. It was a valuable opportunity to bring together our fellows, alumni, faculty, and leadership to connect and share ideas. Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more highlights!✨

TYRESE MAXEY!!!

Day 3 Wrap-Up🎉 Small group discussions revealed what members value most about the fellowship and areas for improvement. The tour of Mulago Hospital, led by Drs. Amina Seguya, Abi Muthumani, and John Baptist Ssenyondwa, provided unique insights into the Ugandan healthcare system.

CHESA uniquely supports its fellows and alumni in perioperative care, wherever they are. With the retreat, we were reminded how crucial it is that we foster collaboration, build community, and support their professional development. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE!🎉✨
