Q&A

Great question! So important for HICs to be more ethical in their active recruitment of health care workers from LMICs!

There is an "earn, learn, return" scheme in the UK... with opportunities for highly skilled health workers to cross international borders to acquire skills, gain competencies, earn money and take skills home.

...We should aim for "brain circulation"!

Changing cultural beliefs is very difficult. I think the advice from Dr Chioma about being a passion advocate for public health using different methods (social media, through healthcare and communities activities), and Dr Kinirons' advice about individuals standing up for what they believe and wanting to make a change, are both great pieces of advice. Being a role model and challenging cultural beliefs in a culturally sensitive way in the area where you work and live, is one way to attempt to make small changes which hopefully ripple out further. Inspiring and empowering others to make changes are also powerful tools to create sustainable change.

How can we prevent the ‘brain drain’ of medical staff from LMICs to HICs?

Dr Abdullahi Said Hashi (Somalia): How many countries CONECSA worked, and are you planning to reach more countries?"

Godfrey Sama: How is the timeline to the actual implementation of the curricullum? And what challenges did you face especially dealing with varrying contextual characteristics of the CONECSA country members?

Felix Liu: Hello! Many thanks for a fascinating talk, Dr Kinirons. I’m curious how you see the role of firstly, clinical simulation, and secondly, point-of-care ultrasound in the LMIC setting? Thank you!"

Melkamu Nidaw: I want to ask is there any leadership training being provided for surgeons in Low and middle income countries which is designed to fit to the setup they are working in.

How do you think junior anaesthetic trainees can contribute to these teaching/training efforts, perhaps from a distance, in these current times of travel restrictions?"

Mohammed Nuhu Ahmed: Is it possible to train nurses to deliver safe Anaesthesia within 18 months Curriculum, training physicians anaesthetist will take minimum of 4 years and the number of physicians going for anaesthesia fellowship will not meet the required target?"

Mohamed Abdinor Omar: Thank you Dr Barnie. I'm from Somalia is a country in civil war and destroyed all and sixty and a country lives lowest surgeons and aneasthestologist. What chance for us conesca and how conesca can be part the training of medical doctors?

Felix Liu: Interesting to hear about CANECSA’s e-learning platform. Can I ask if this is open-access? Or, is anyone aware of high-quality free, open-access learning resources? FOAMEd / MOOCs, and how do these fit into local training programmes / curricula? Thank you."

Aruthy Arumugam: What kind of activities have helped in gently challenging and changing cultural beliefs like demonic possessions and empowering women? At time of presentation to hospital, time might be limited to intervene and educate?"
