    Safe surgery for children in Burundi! 💙 🇧🇮 We couldn't be more proud that our scholar, Dr. @NiyukuriAlly passed his final paediatric surgical exams earlier this month. He now returns to Burundi as one of the country's first EVER children's surgical experts. Incredible! 👏

    Burundi has over 6 million children - but not a single paediatric surgeon to care for them. 😓 🙌 So we're proud to be supporting Dr. Alliance & Dr. Carlos. Currently training in Malawi, the KidsOR surgical scholars will return to #Burundi after completing their training. 🇧🇮
