Minimum dataset for surgical patients in Africa. Have a look at the dataset. Let's see if we can get this established across Africa. It would allow risk adjusted tracking of surgical outcomes doi: 10.1007/s00268-022-06815-3 rdcu.be/cZMAB Hyla Kluyts #APORG APORG (African Perioperative Research Group)

This years theme for #worldprematurityday is #aparentsembrace without it none of our tiny friends would survive. “I was told to be tying my baby on my chest in kangaroo care for most of the time to keep him warm. I found it very difficult at the beginning but it became easier”

This photo represents the incredible courage, determination, love and beauty of all preterm mamas. This twin mama is feeding BOTH her babies with her own breastmilk using feeding tubes. #fightlikeapreemie #preemietwins #preemiemom #everynewborn #breastmilk #expressedbreastmilk

Following our conference at Addis Ababa, our second project, focusing on improving patient care via #5RstoRescue, is on the way. Our chosen sites are currently enacting the first of the 5Rs - Risk identification #NIHR Check out our website for more info globalperioperativecriticalcare.org

Project 4 - Digital Health Systems - is progressing well. South Africa are working on developing a proof of concept. Ethiopia have installed DHIS2 onto their server to start data entry soon. Uganda's registry platform is hoping to support our #5RstoRescue project. #NIHR #APPRISE

#ASOS Surgical Risk Calculator is now available on the Google Play store. Good for #Surgical Risk stratification in Africa. Thanks to Network For Perioperative and critical care and tewodros kifleyohans and Fitsum Kifle for supporting the app development play.google.com/store/apps/det…

The launch of the journey for Uganda’s National Surgical Obstetric and Anaesthesia Plan Association of Anesthesiologists of Uganda Association of Surgeons of Uganda (ASOU) AOGU Mak Anaesthesia/Critical Care thanks to @afief Center for Health Equity in Surgery & Anesthesia and all that have supported the journey up until now.

In their article, Dr. Saad Sahi and Dr. Emmanuel Bua share experiences to demonstrate fundamental challenges to the decolonization movement, particularly in global health. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #GlobalHealth #FeatureFriday Saad Sahi

Health information - a core pillar of #UgandaNSOAP Digital perioperative registries like #MDAS at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital utilise #DHIS2 software to provide real time feedback on #surgicalvolume, #perioperativemortality and national HMIS indicators. Improve data access for better quality care.

Beside ultrasound is worth it’s weight in gold when access to other investigations is often difficult, especially for critically ill patients.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting #BusolweGH one of our #5RstoRescue QI partner sites. The journey reminded me that across all of our surgical system strengthening and research projects, most surgical care in Africa is delivered in rural hard to reach settings. APPRISE Group

Today is World Day of Human Milk Donation #wdhmd23 The theme is "A small gesture can feed a big dream" - our big dream on this special day is for a world where #EveryNewborn has access to human #breastmilk.

#Oxygen should be considered alongside #Power and #water - no health facility should ever run out of any of these. We will continue striving towards universal access to oxygen for our patients in Uganda. #Mbale_PONT Uganda UK Health Alliance
