In this journal club, Dr Qin will be discussing the intersection between climate change and surgical system strengthening. She will discuss how to consider both ways to mitigate for and adapt to climate change when considering surgical systems in the western pacific region. This will be followed by a discussion session on this highly relevant and applicable topic.
