Thank you to the @accintouch.bsky.social and conference organizers for the invitation to speak & bring #GlobalCardiacSurgery to #ACC25 agenda.
Six billion people, including over 90% of children born with #CHD, lack access to safe, timely, and quality cardiac surgery when needed.
Time for a change.

Grateful to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons to put #GlobalCardiacSurgery on the #STS2025 agenda and to be invited to give the session's opening talk.
>100 countries & territories still lack a single cardiac surgeon locally.
Multidisciplinary and multisectoral efforts are needed to make a change.

Cardiac surgery is costly and may not be accessible for numerous reasons.
Seeking care abroad, whether independently or through gov't support & #NGOs, is not uncommon.
