Incredible work by ASOS-Paeds & #APORG. Outcomes following anaesthesia & surgery for children in Africa are poor: complications 4x higher & mortality 11x higher than HICs. Many operating rooms were reported as not safe for paediatric surgery in hospitals. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

11. Can we rise to the challenge of ASOS-Paeds? Certainly. The African Perioperative Research Group #APORG is fully committed to improving surgical outcomes across Africa. ASOS-Paeds provides the foundational data needed to identify the areas where we need to focus our energies.
