Abstract

Soon after most nations of West Africa attained political independence at the turn of the sixth decade of the 20th century, visionary surgeons within the sub-region sought to establish formal postgraduate training programs to meet her surgical health needs. The Association of Surgeons of West Africa, which had been founded in 1960, adopted a resolution at its meeting in Accra, Ghana in 1969, to create the West African College of Surgeons (WACS).
