Summary
Background
There is a need to increase access to surgical treatments in African countries, but perioperative complications represent a major global health-care burden. There are few studies describing surgical outcomes in Africa.
Methods
We did a 7-day, international, prospective, observational cohort study of patients aged 18 years and older undergoing any inpatient surgery in 25 countries in Africa (the African Surgical Outcomes Study). We aimed to recruit as many hospitals as possible using a convenience sampling survey, and required data from at least ten hospitals per country (or half the surgical centres if there were fewer than ten hospitals) and data for at least 90% of eligible patients from each site. Each country selected one recruitment week between February and May, 2016. The primary outcome was in-hospital postoperative complications, assessed according to predefined criteria and graded as mild, moderate, or severe. Data were presented as median (IQR), mean (SD), or n (%), and compared using t tests. This study is registered on the South African National Health Research Database (KZ_2015RP7_22) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03044899).
Findings
We recruited 11 422 patients (median 29 [IQR 10–70]) from 247 hospitals during the national cohort weeks. Hospitals served a median population of 810 000 people (IQR 200 000–2 000 000), with a combined number of specialist surgeons, obstetricians, and anaesthetists totalling 0·7 (0·2–1·9) per 100 000 population. Hospitals did a median of 212 (IQR 65–578) surgical procedures per 100 000 population each year. Patients were younger (mean age 38·5 years [SD 16·1]), with a lower risk profile (American Society of Anesthesiologists median score 1 [IQR 1–2]) than reported in high-income countries. 1253 (11%) patients were infected with HIV, 6504 procedures (57%) were urgent or emergent, and the most common procedure was caesarean delivery (3792 patients, 33%). Postoperative complications occurred in 1977 (18·2%, 95% CI 17·4–18·9]) of 10 885 patients. 239 (2·1%) of 11 193 patients died, 225 (94·1%) after the day of surgery. Infection was the most common complication (1156 [10·2%] of 10 970 patients), of whom 112 (9·7%) died.
Interpretation
Despite a low-risk profile and few postoperative complications, patients in Africa were twice as likely to die after surgery when compared with the global average for postoperative deaths. Initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments in Africa therefore should be coupled with improved surveillance for deteriorating physiology in patients who develop postoperative complications, and the resources necessary to achieve this objective.

Good evening All. I first learnt of this study on BBC Focus on Africa program few days ago when the it was pub;ished. I really think this sort of finding is worth interrotgatinmg further. Kudos to our own Dr. 'Yinka Omogbodun professor of Surgery who participated in the multi country study.

Chris Yilgwan:
A good start.
But it seems their methodology  does not support the conclusions they are making.
The need to expand the scope and reach of the recruitment centers.

Henry Ewunonu:
Bro, how're you doing today sir?
Please read the full article.
There could be misleading assumptions in their sample selection and other methodology issues, but what hope do we have in Africa.
Can the Committee on Treatment Guidelines and Clinical Governance validate this study or prove it otherwise?

Chris Yilgwan:
Am fine.
We are far from getting there.
As chair of Specialties committee, I have tried to galvanize this kind of approach but it seems our people are used to working in their cocoons and don’t understand collaboration.
But from my experience with the global registry for Rheumatic heart disease, it is doable.

Irene AKHIDENO:
This study involved about 10 hospitals in Nigeria spread over the different geopolitical zones.

Prof Amanor-Boadu ,Foremost Anaesthesiologist.

Henry Ewunonu:
Great.
Can NMA stimulate an action that can make surgical outcomes more positive in Nigeria?

Irene AKHIDENO:
It was a snapshot type of study.
Good understanding of perioperative medicine by the surgeons is key.
This will ensure good anaesthetic review in which the recommendations by the Anaesthetists are taken into consideration by the surgeons as this will ultimately improve post operative outcome.

Henry Ewunonu:
I'm not a surgeon but my casual observation tend to suggest that immediate post-op care in Nigeria ia very sub-optimal. Patients hardly get the prescribed antibiotics and analgesics promptly either due to unavailability or human resource inefficiency/deficiency. They are also not reveiwed periodically unless thay start shouting and their relatives came up in arms drawn against the nurses and junior doctors on call. Again, since majority of the subjects studied were operated under emergent conditions, pre-op co-morbidities including poor nutritional statuses among others would definiety impact on survival.

Irene AKHIDENO:
Perioperative medicine involves pre,intra and post operative.

Elective cases are deferred if there are clinical issues that require optimisation.

With preanesthetic clinics(which Anaesthetists are clamoring for) cases are not deferred when patients have already being admitted for surgery

Health sector dips as more Nigerian doctors move abroad

By Chukwuma Muanya, Assistant Editor
13 February 2018   |

More reasons have emerged on why no fewer than 5,405 Nigerian-trained doctors and nurses are currently working with the British National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and why many more will join the league.

The figure, released by the British government, means Nigerian medics constitute 3.9 per cent of the 137,000 foreign staff of 202 nationalities working alongside British doctors and nurses.

The Guardian investigation revealed that many more Nigerian doctors would join their colleagues soon because the U.K. has need for medics from Commonwealth countries, since some doctors in the European Union (E.U.) are already leaving because of Brexit.

It was also gathered that most of the Nigerian doctors and nurses are leaving for the U.K. because of better conditions of service. The migration has further worsened the physician-patient ratio in Nigeria from 1:4,000 to 1:5,000, contrary to the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommended 1:600. The physician-patient ratio in the U.K. is 1:300.

According to the WHO, countries with low physician-patient ratio have worse disease outcomes and life expectancy.

Figures from the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) showed that about 45,000 doctors are currently practicing in Nigeria. This means that 12 per cent of 45,000 Nigerian doctors, that is 5,405, are practising in the U.K. and the country is now left with less than 40,000, excluding those practising in the U.S., South Africa, Saudi Arabia and others.

NMA President, Dr. Mike Ogirima, described the exodus of doctors as worrisome. He blamed the situation on poor remuneration for medical doctors, poor working environment and inadequate medical equipment and infrastructure.

He said the trend has worsened the doctor-patient ratio of 1:4,000, caused longer waiting time at hospitals, rise in fatal disease outcomes, and more frequent medical errors by over worked doctors.

Ogirima said: “Nigeria is using her resources to train doctors and professionals that will leave to work in foreign countries. What are those things attracting these professionals outside? Can we duplicate them here?”

“Government should provide adequate remuneration. We are not saying we should pay so much, but pay them for the job they are doing as and when due.”

Consultant Public Health Physician, Prof. Akin Osibogun, however, said the situation could be reversed if the Federal Government makes the National Insurance Scheme (NHIS) compulsory for all citizens. According to him, this would provide enough funds to improve the conditions of service and working environment for health professionals.

He said: “The few ones we have are leaving because of poor conditions of service, working environment and after service package. It means the physician-patient ratio has worsened, maybe from 1:3,000 to 1:5,000. When you compare, those countries that have better physician-patient ratio have better treatment outcomes.”

Osibogun, a former Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), said Nigeria currently produces about 3,000 medical doctors every year and needs to increase the ratio by producing more, and developing plans on how to retain them.

He explained: “We need to make working conditions attractive. If they know they will have a house after 20 years of training, the lure to leave would be reduced. What are the benefits attached to the job? What are the provisions for the doctor’s family? What are the long-term prospects for the staff?

“We need to improve the work environment in terms of financing. Make it work-friendly, not crowding 10 persons in one office. Talk about electricity supply; you come to work and you are scheduled to do a surgery but there is no electricity.

“We need to be more drastic; re-organising the way we fund health service. There should be compulsory NHIS that will bring a pool of funds. We have to adopt a more holistic approach.”

But a consultant paediatric surgeon and c

urrent CMD of LUTH, Prof. Chris Bode, said the situation is not hopeless. He said the high migration of Nigerian doctors to the U.K. is because some doctors in E.U. countries are leaving because of Brexit and the NHS has opened its gates to doctors from Commonwealth countries.

Bode, however, said Nigeria needs proper planning to harness the opportunity the situation brings.

He said: “A medical degree is an international passport. Because of global competition, many doctors are moving to the U.S. and U.K. We lose because we trained them but we also learn from them by getting exposed to cutting-edge technologies. One day, if we harness them, they will come back to impact positively on the practice here.

“That is the method Japan, India and China used in adapting what they learnt in the U.S. and U.K. It is not a total loss. We are seeing a lot of movement of medical doctors abroad. It is not as if Nigerian medicine is dead. I had to spend a lot, $14,000, some years back on going to Israel to learn new skills. That has distinguished me and Nigerians are benefitting.

“Nigerian doctors are going to the U.K. because they have opened their gates. By the time the medical doctors come back, we will be better for it. It is not a hopeless situation. There is a lot we can do to harness the opportunity. We need proper planning.”

Henry Ewunonu:
I'm thinking that every challenge presents an opportunity for addressing it and it's likes.
We have been talking about this medical manpower emigration even in the face of severe under/unemployment and the effects of the manpower shortages on the quality of health services in the country. It is amazing that these appear to have fallen on deaf ears. It has been so because solutions proferred have been allowed to just be another dust ridden file on the shelf. One of the ways to curb this emigration is to think and act the radical stuff.

Can we lobby for health to be in the EXCLUSIVE LIST even as several provisions of the 1999 Constitution are being amended?
State governors have messed up human resources for health across the different genre and cadres.
In some states, they have converted medicare as a relic of its glorious past.

There was a time when private medical prcatice was more illustrious and lucrative than public medical service.
That narrative has been changed due the enhancement of the pay packages of medical and health workers.

NARD recently held a national discuss on "Making our hospitals work better" in Abuja.
Several startegic Ideas were proferred. Governmnet was there.
Hospital administrators were there. Doctors were there.
Can we then raise that chorus to a crescendo by embarking  on a campaign to make our working environments more condusive?
Should we keep on lamenting about the absence of soap and antiseptics for hand hygiene without letting our voices heared at the highest quarters in the land?

I will end here by reminding us of the famous saying of Frantz Fanon- “Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.” Let's discover ours and fulfill it.

Female Doctors Leaving Medical Profession, Who Is Responsible

There was an article in leading national newspaper regarding female doctors in the medical profession. The article was focused on the number of women leaving medical profession only after few years after they graduate. The article was especially heart-breaking for me, as it reflected few of the cases I have seen in my short medical career.
The article was based on the study published in the renowned journal. The study stated that, in the last few years more women doctors graduated from medical college than men but that was not reflected in the number of practicing doctors.
There are a lot of reasons that is making women doctors leave practice. Some of the reasons were valid but some of them were totally absurd. To give an example, some female doctors have left the practice to join the research and NGOs working in the healthcare, which is totally acceptable.
In some cases, female doctors left the practice as they were unable to cope up with the pressure. Female doctors are also feeling threatened more due to the behavior of the public. There are cases in which they have left the practice due to male dominated work environment and they believed they were not treated with dignity by their peers. These could have been really prevented.
There are also absurd cases in which these female doctors were treated as a trophy wives and were forced to leave the practice, which is derogatory to our profession.
Please share your thoughts about why female doctors might be leaving the profession especially when we need them most. What are the reasons for this trend? What should we do as a responsible medical community to change this?
