Over the past two decades, global health has largely focused on individual diseases rather than developing integrated health services and health systems. As a result, surgical care has been given the lowest priority in the world's poorest countries, like Nigeria, and the impact has been cataclysmic. Join Dr. Samkon Gado as he interviews Dr. Mark Shrime, head & neck surgeon, O'Brien Chair of Global Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and Global Health and Social Medicine Lecturer at the Harvard Medical School. 

Dr.Shrime is a dedicated advocate for surgical care in low- and middle-income nations. Dr. Shrime's academic journey has honed in on the critical intersection of health and impoverishment, striving to establish policies and platforms that offer optimal surgical care delivery. Join us as we explore his groundbreaking work aimed at transforming the landscape of healthcare and reducing the financial hardships faced by patients worldwide.
