Across Africa, women are transforming surgical care, one patient, one scalpel, one breakthrough at a time. Yesterday marked Global Surgery Day, and the Pan African Women’s Association of Surgeons (PAWAS) stands proud to amplify the voices, skills, and leadership of African female surgeons.

Representation is more than a statistic; it’s about access, mentorship, and life-saving care for millions. Let’s build a future where every girl who dreams of surgery sees herself in the operating room. Use the lens to add a surgical touch.
