Global Humanitarian Surgery ICS Webinar

Over recent years, and specifically at the current time of COVID-19, two technologies have dramatically changed world thinking and how we go about things: new virtual based communication platforms and medical telecommunications. And in the process, the challenges for surgeons to stay abreast of rapidly expanding scientific knowledge and related procedures is becoming more and more dominant.
