West Africa Sub-Regional Training and Skills Transfer: My Experience at the Urology Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana

Abstract

Surgical training in the West Africa sub-regional countries produces specialist surgeons in most surgical disciplines, including urology, to ensure that people of the sub-region—and sometimes beyond—have access to surgical services. The training is conducted at tertiary health facilities accredited by the national and sub-regional postgraduate colleges.
