I am a paediatrician b with special interest in nephrology.
Dear Dr Adekanmbi,
Thank you very much for your email and interest. PaedSurg Africa, our first collaborative study, includes gastroschisis, anorectal malformation, appendicitis, intussusception and inguinal hernia. The first Global PaedSurg study will be focussed on congenital anomalies that require a similar package of NICU care. This is likely to include gastroschisis, ARM, OA/TOF, intestinal atresia and CDH. However, this is yet to be confirmed.
Although the initial focus will be on general neonatal and paediatric surgical conditions we certainly hope to evolve in the future to cover all children's surgical specialties and it would be fantastic to have your input with that.
In the meantime, you may wish to get involved in the Global Initiative for Children's Surgery which has a urology working group. The Lead for the group is Prof Rouma Bankole on [email protected]. More information on GICS can be found on their website:

Thank you for making contact and I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future.
Kindest regards,
Naomi
