PaedSurg Africa aims to recruit surgeons and allied health professionals undertaking neonatal and paediatric surgery (PS) across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) - an area heavily neglected in global health prioritisation. Such research collaboratives are being increasingly utilised as a highly effective and efficient method of collecting large volume prospective data in a short period of time. A great recruitment incentive will be ethical group co-authorship of published results for all research collaborators.
