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.
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…

#ASOSPaeds update. Sudan and Niger have recruited. Algeria and Libya will start recruitment in March. @AfricanSOS @alex_torborg So far there are 25 registered and confirmed participating countries for #ASOSPaeds We still expect many more country registrations
#ASOSPaeds has started recruiting in Nigeria! A massive amount of participating hospitals. @AfricanSOS Thanks to the wonderful leadership by Prof Adesoji Ademuyiwa and Dr Babatunde Osinaike.
Despite the military coup and current political turmoils in Sudan, the team managed regulatory aprovals in 4 hospitals and started recruitment in a relatively short time. 3 more hospital will start recruitment next month I'm proud of this team !
