“Undertaking short term medical or surgical missions to an LMIC does not make you an expert who can speak authoritatively on the contours of surgical or health care delivery in another country. The best you can and should be is an ally..' - Denis Foretia, MD MPH MBA

The world of surgery has lost a true legend. Dr. James Pate, MD was the upmost professional and academic. It was a honor to spend time with him while in Memphis. UTHSC Department of Surgery UTHSC Global Surgery The University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Engaging lecture by Dr. Denis Foretia on Cameroon's health sector. Unfortunate to see the humanitarian devastation as a result of the conflict in the Anglophone region
