Session
This Round Table session will bring together a group of surgeons who have been actively involved in providing paediatric outreach OHN surgical services across a range of low resource settings in different continents.
We will discuss a range of issues that face both recipient and visiting teams, including how to start a program, the factors that contribute to successful outcomes and those that present greater challenges. These include caseload, local personnel and their training, resource availability, funding and long-term sustainability.
We aim to provide guidance to those involved in establishing outreach partnerships to assist in achieving best outcomes from the beginning and leading to long term self-sufficiency.
