I had an opportunity to get connected with Mission Restore during one of the workshops. I was invited to speak in one of the workshops. MR sponsors residents to travel and participate in Workshops as well as creating opportunities for networking among other surgeons from Africa.
I have known about Mission Restore for 2 years now. I have participated in two conferences held for Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons as well as trainees and found that Mission Restore creates a platform for networking among surgeons within Africa, creates a opportunity for learning from each other as well as experts .
It's a great pleasure for me to give my witness about Mission:Restore. Mission:restore gave me a brief insight about principles of reconstructive surgery especially in wound healing, which are easily applicable to my day to day practice .
I also got expert advice on management of challenging cases ,which are really helpful .
I have also got an opportunity to meet other African fellow residents and consultant to share different experience.
I had the chance to participate twice in the regional meeting prepared by mission restore.I was given the opportunity to present interesting cases operated in the hospital where I work.I was also awarded for best presentation. The meeting was successful to bring surgeons together from different countries and share their practice which helped in agreement towards certain standards. It also strengthened documentation of surgical procedures through a common web site for free . Organizations like mission restore which gives fully sponsored meeting among the east African surgeons are badly needed to bring a better surgical care for the poor patients. Finally its a pleasure for me to comment east African regional meeting prepared by mission restore as best nonprofit organization practice in the
Region and I am lucky to be part of it.
