Inside the Mind of a Surgeon is a virtual experience-sharing series hosted by IASSS-ETHIOPIA where accomplished surgeons open up about their personal and professional journeys. Join us for our next session on the theme, ” From Diagnosis to Scalpel: A Practical Approach to Cardiac Surgery in Resource-Limited Settings” Cardiac surgical care does not begin in the operating room—it begins with accurate diagnosis, timely decision-making, and the ability to act despite limitations. In resource-limited settings, the challenge is not only how to operate, but when and how to move from diagnosis to definitive surgical care. From the clinician’s lens, it is about recognizing surgical candidates early and optimizing preoperative pathways. From the surgeon’s lens, it is about adapting techniques, prioritizing cases, and delivering safe, effective interventions with available resources. This session brings practical insights into bridging the gap between diagnosis and surgery, highlighting real-world strategies, innovation, and decision-making that make cardiac surgery possible where resources are constrained.
