I thought that for the next few weeks, it would be fun to highlight some of the aspects of this curriculum that make it so exciting and novel.

One year ago today @CovidSurg started.
It's been a tough year for everyone, both professionally and personally. @CovidSurg's priority has been to support surgeons & anaesthetists by providing these best possible evidence to inform surgical care during the pandemic.

As the pandemic has progressed, we constantly re-prioritised
Our early work included
▶️Natural history of perioperative SARS-CoV-2: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
▶️Burden of pandemic on surgical services: bjssjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
▶️Early consensus guidance: academic.oup.com/bjs/article/10…

I am not getting the #vaccine....
... this month, or anytime soon, because I don’t have the option. Unlike many of you, I live and work in a developing nation. There is no Covid-19 vaccine in Kenya and no one really knows when it will arrive. 🧵 (1/5)

Those of us working here do not yet get to experience the relief and promise that comes from the receipt of even the first of the two doses. Although #COVID19 rates are much lower in Kenya than the US, I had a Covid exposure three days ago... (2/5)
...and now I’m smelling the candle on our coffee table daily, looking for even the faintest of sub-clinical symptoms. Those of us working in the developing world will continue living in this fear until the day the vaccine reaches us- will it be in the spring? Summer? 2022? (3/5)

I also want to thank everyone for warm words of support: my mother is doing better day by day.

(2/9) It’s been a landmark event as #HLMUHC moved mountains with political attention for #Health4All #UHC and the adoption of the Political Declaration. As per my op-ed for @ghn_news, reduced financial commitment but inclusion of #SurgeryUHC now apparent:
