Thank you to the @accintouch.bsky.social and conference organizers for the invitation to speak & bring #GlobalCardiacSurgery to #ACC25 agenda.
Six billion people, including over 90% of children born with #CHD, lack access to safe, timely, and quality cardiac surgery when needed.
Time for a change.
Great to be at #ACC25 and see conference halls and rooms packed for all the latest and greatest in 🫀 care!
Excited to talk pediatric #GlobalCardiacSurgery tomorrow morning, and keep moving the needle with colleagues from around the world 🌐
At the recent #STS2025, I had the honour of being interviewed by Dr. Emily Farkas on my experiences and advice in the field of #GlobalCardiacSurgery.
The 10-minute interview is now available online at #CTSNet:

Grateful to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons to put #GlobalCardiacSurgery on the #STS2025 agenda and to be invited to give the session's opening talk.
>100 countries & territories still lack a single cardiac surgeon locally.
Multidisciplinary and multisectoral efforts are needed to make a change.
Just a day away from the start of #STS2025!
Looking forward to reconnecting with friends, mentors, and mentees in #CTSurgery 🫀 here in sunny Los Angeles during the next few days ☀️

Globally, only 8% of cardiac surgeons are women.
Underrepresentation exists across country income groups, albeit with correlation with #GNI per capita and the #GGGI.

Cardiac surgery is costly and may not be accessible for numerous reasons.
Seeking care abroad, whether independently or through gov't support & #NGOs, is not uncommon.
