A heartfelt thank you to the organizers for putting together such a powerful and well-run event. Bringing together delegates from over 20 countries is no small feat — and the energy, generosity, and collaboration across borders was truly something special.

It was also an honour to join a thought-provoking panel on Sustainable Financing and the circular economy in Global Surgery — an area that will only grow in importance as we strive for lasting, equitable change.

Grateful for the opportunity to share our work in Anaesthesia & Burn Care training at rural hospitals in South Africa. A privilege to reflect with others working in similar contexts, & to learn from so many who are working to improve surgical care in resource-limited settings.

Anyone out there have some advice on this?.
Are there any other options for qualitative software other than @NVivoSoftware and Atlas? . The pricing for multi-user work is prohibitive & we would love some other options for shared coding with colleagues who not at the same place?. @gabereedy @WalterEppich @willem_stassen.
