Number of surgeons is one of the tracer indicators used to calculate this #UHC service coverage index (SDG 3.8.1). x.com/WorldBank/stat…

#globalsurgery is cost-effective: Peds OR = $6.39 per DALY averted; $397.95 per life saved; net economic benefit of over 5 million dollars per year (cost of $41,000 per year). ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29801729

Thank you Ronnie E. Baticulon - please share the survey; we're trying to understand the needs and challenges of young neurosurgeons to better help our community. #globalneurosurgery x.com/ronibats/statu…

. @vbuch9 starting his Penn Neurosurgery grand rounds on neural engineering for cognitive disabilities - work coming straight from the heart and mind of a brilliant person. Absolutely amazing. #neuralengineering

. @vbuch9 and team Penn Neurosurgery are learning to predict neural network performance on cognitive tasks with the goal of informing future #BCI brain-computer interface work. #NeuralNetworks

Our senior resident @vbuch9 worked in collaboration with Dr. Tim Lucas and Dr. Dani Bassett for his neural network research, and with Dr. Isaac Chen and Dr. Jim Schuster for his AR-OR work - among many other collaborators! #greatmentors #greatresidents

So proud to have you as a co-resident and brother. Incredible work. Keep on shining my brother. x.com/pennnsg/status…

With only 9 neurosurgeons for a population of 53 million people, #Myanmar has a #neurosurgery workforce density of 0.016 per 100,000 population. In comparison, the #USA has a 100-fold higher density, with 5,144 neurosurgeons for 319 million people. #GlobalSurgery #ICRAN2018

Why is Walt Johnson at WFNS #ICRAN2018 #Neurotrauma meeting? Because #neurosurgery is indispensable to achieving #UHC and #SDG #SurgeryUHC #essentialsurgery

Dr. Franco Servadei reminds us that nearly half of neurosurgeons work in HICs where less than 20% of the population lives. #ICRAN2018 #GlobalNeurosurgery #GlobalSurgery Global Neurosurgery WFNS

Franco Servadei, Pres. of WFNS nails it - we are shortsighted if we only focus on technical aspect of surgical procedure and not on catastrophic expenditure for surgery which can bankrupt the family. #ICRAN2018 #GlobalNeurosurgery

To cover the unmet need of #neurosurgery worldwide, 5 million additional neurosurgical procedures are required each year - the majority of which is needed in sub-Saharan #Africa and #SouthEastAsia. #GlobalSurgery #ICRAN2018

Congrats Angelica! Ranks up there with having to defend your thesis at 3am across an ocean...That's dedication. x.com/drwaltjohnson/…

Very strong showing by Penn Neurosurgery this year at the #PNS2018 meeting! Congratulations @vbuch9 and all those who helped organize and present our department’s work. #Neurosurgery

Proud that our Penn Global Surgery Group is hosting the brilliant Neema Kaseje for a lunch talk on global surgical care and how to tackle pediatric surgical system strengthening - mini Harvard Global Surgery reunion! #Globalsurgery

Next webinar from WFNS Young Neurosurgeons Forum happening later today - join in and retweet! WFNS

Investir dans la chirurgie est rentable: investir 350 Milliards de Dollars préviendrait une perte économique de 12.3 mille milliard de Dollars dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire. #GlobalSurgeryDay #EquityInSurgery #WHA71
