Members of the ICES Executive board met up with Ruairi Brugha, RCSI/COST Africa project and Eric O'Flynn, Programme Manager, RCSI/COSECSA This was an important discussion forum to share progress to date, inspiration, news and future plans including presentation of the 15 by 15 campaign. This exciting and innovative campaign aims to ensure that cost effective and essential life saving surgery is promoted as a key global health improvement catalyst worthy of significant investment.
ICES was delighted to welcome a regional Surrey surgeons group, named LAST (Links in Africa for Surgical Training) who aim to provide training and support to Clinical Officers in Malawi at the invitation of the Malawi College of Medicine - this vital initiative will link into the work of COST Africa.
