SURGICAL SKILLS WORKSHOP IN SOMALILAND: Report on Organisation, Implementation and Experience
My name is Abdi Karim Mohamed Yusuf. I am currently a urology registrar
at St George’s University Hospital in Tooting, Southwest London. I have
had the privilege of being this year’s Stefan Galeski Fellow. My fellowship
aimed to deliver a surgical skills workshop across multiple institutions in
Somaliland in collaboration with Somali Health Exchange (SHE). What
follows is a report on the organisation and implementation of the course.
The report also details my experience, provides relevant reflections,
includes participant feedback, and offers a brief overview of the current
situation regarding surgical training in Somaliland.
