Hello. Great. Thank you, Gene. Uh, so this is the exciting. But this is the prize is this is what we all want to see. Uh, thanks everyone for staying for this, And, uh, I just want to mention first. This is going to be a prize is for both the posters that we've received and the abstracts and also an essay prize that we'll talk about, uh, further in a moment, but just, uh, continue what Gene said thank you to funeral into led the team in going through the vast amount of abstract that we had. It was really fantastic to see and gas occurs. An organization, it's it's representing the trainees is representing you. So this is a really important part of the schedule where we see the work that you have done, and you very kindly shared with us. And it's really a platform for you. This this this session there's been over 100 submissions of abstract. I remember when I volunteered to start going through them and I opened the spreadsheet. Oh, my goodness. Well, I volunteered for there's so many, but it's fantastic to see. So thank you for everyone who submitted and please go on to the, uh, the virtual poster hall and at the back of the room to go through some of the posters and comment on what you see and try and learn from each other. So thank you very much. So we're going to go through the three top winners of the categories we have for posters, and we're going to start off with virtual presentation. Unfortunately, the winner of this one can be with us, followed by two in person presentations. The first presentation is for the category of medical Student, and it's from Anna Toguchi. Uh, she's a student, uh, Camilla University Center, South Paulo, Brazil. So again, another international element. So without further ado, we'll hear from Anna on her presentation of her poster. Thanks much. Hi, everyone. My name is and I'm here with my colleague Isabella were second year medical student. We're going to talk about the article challenged implementation of global surgery focused on the principle of normal. Isn't this work? Was the project that we did at the end of our biotics course in our university? Okay, just remember the concept of global surgery. It's a multidisciplinary field that are going to improve and provide equity effects is the surgical care across international healthcare system. It is the initiative of great importance. 1. 90% of people of low and middle income countries do not have access to basic surgical care to change the scenario. Global surgery Joint efforts to implement a group with essential surgical services in primary care around the globe. So I do need to talk about ethics in the limitation of global surgery. This concept stood out only 2015 when the World Health Organization included the surgical scope. Needs Primary Health Action Plan. Because global searcher is a recent feeling discussion, there is a need to identify difficult challenges in the implementation to guarantee the same provision of this clear and most important, the commitment to the echo principles of medical practice. So our objective in this research was to investigate the main medical challenges for the implementation of the global surgery strategy. Information health care. In your methodology, we decided to do a descriptive, exploratory type of study with the research for articles using the the HDL virginal photo, as are databases, and we also search for official documents in the Web sites of the World Health Organization and from American Health Organization, the priest Police Medical Theory was a theoretical from work. Now, just to show you an overview of results, we found only five documents on the World Health Organization website, and none of them cited ethical challenges in the limitation of global surgery. We also found 12 articles, and we use the three of them should be the theoretical basis for discussion and medical ethics involved for basic principles, autonomy just as the next sense and normal efficient. And all the articles we selected included the echo echo aspects involving normal efficient. So we saw that the normal, efficient principal is the one that makes sense. How is the moods when we talk about global surgery? And that's because the absence of compliance with the three other principals and unsafe practice of search commissions inevitably leads to more efficient. We divided the discretion about these results in three categories. The first one is resource training relationship. The second is longitudinal care and the last of them, this participation of quantity over quality and my colleague and, uh, we'll talk about them with you now. The first thought you'd like to talk about is resource for any relationship, as you all may know, that, like our resources can limited the safe, deliver a special care. So when the surgeon must. So when so the surgeon must have sufficient skills to adapt limited resources to achieve. As a result, we must have our expectation regard to the liver of this care. So when the surgeons about to perform surgery regard the resource he or she must ask himself, would he do at home that he feels safe to perform in these conditions and always have in mind the safety success of these interventions? And the second aspect would be regarded design of the mission Resources don't have to to reach the same levels as in developed countries, but we need to design the mission to maximize, benefit and minimize harm to the patients. The second one will be longitudinal care. The surgery from transmission must be sustainable in long term. After the surgeon decides to remain, team must be able to contain the care that was performed at least the post surgical care to guarantee that intervention performance was a sex. We see this especially short term missions as the syringe is not available to medical complications or follow up, and the local provider is becoming responsible for continuing this care. The second. The third one would be a prioritization of quantity of quality when performance, many as many search for intervention as possible. The surgery cannot follow the results that will arise from the service. When focused on quantity know quality, it is possible that the surgical intervention will not have the quality that it would have. The surgeon would have more time to provide this care, and the surgeon also will not be able to follow the outcomes that will arise from the information regarding those expects. It can be concluded that the intervention would have the petition potential to compromise the patient care and safety. In our discussion, we find that the governments do not include an article, any expect and aspects of article challenging the global surgery implementation. However, many health professionals around the road have discussed the aspects to ensure commitment to the article principles of medical practice from the surveys of normal efficient, we found important the preparation of the team regarding two aspects one mission sustainability. It is important to study the location, it's available, resources or there's scarcity of them to understand the context of host country and be prepared to provide the service in the best way possible to cultural competence. It is important to understand the culture is a transition and native language to ensure respect for communication between the surgeons and holds medical staff as well their patients and the last one, but not as important, but not it's important lateral education prepared the whole medical team to deal with possible post surgical complications and launched original care of the intervention performance in addition to improving their medical skills and techniques once the mission is completed in your financial situation, we found that there's still a lot to be discussed regard that regarding that medical aspect of the implementation blood procedure. But it started discussing about this aspect is already the first step to guarantee the article principles in the medical practice in global surgery. Thank you, everyone. Um, this is our team that is compressed by me, uh, she, my friend Isabella and also work with He's a golly are colicky at university, and I'd like to thank our professor Marina Barba, who was the one who support us an improvement in this project. I would also like to acknowledge, acknowledge, look at Zombo and have a oh, I spelled that were also our medical teachers that help us to refer this presentation. Um, here's my mayo. You can contact me if you have any doubts if you need it for the information, so contact me if you like. Thank you very much. Fantastic. Thank you, Anna. That's a great start. Ethical considerations is key to all the things we do in our partnership and organizations, particularly with our sustainability theme in mind. Just to remind you, you can continue to post questions on the metal chat and we will do our very best to try and get through them. Live so And if you could stay there at the end of the session. But if we don't have time, the participants can all answer the post. Present presenters can answer within the chat itself. Or indeed, you can comment directly on the posters that are being presented by going and visiting them on our virtual, uh, poster hall so you can do either options. Fantastic. So moving on
