Tweets from "Updates in Anesthesia" course.



We had a very successful "Annual Updates in Anesthesia" course (our 9th) in Kumasi, Ghana. The organizers (as always) did a superb job, and the 250+ attendees were engaged, enthusiastic and stimulating.

Below are some tweet highlights from the course:

Things I Like.

Here are some interesting posts / articles / videos that recently wandered onto my radar. Some may make it into my permanent links / videos pages; some may not.
  • Private finance is key to aid efforts - In 2010, Médecins Sans Frontières donations summed $1.1bn. Were it a country, MSF would have been the 2nd largest humanitarian donor after the US.

Extreme Affordability Conference

Well, the first annual Center for Global Surgery conference is over.

As always after such events, I am left with a sense of enthusiasm, optimism and community. There are so many people from different fields and countries collaborating and using innovative approaches to the myriad problems facing the low resource world.
(And they're fun to hang out with too.)
