العناية المركزة والتخدير

This group focuses on advancing surgical practice, patient safety, and perioperative outcomes in resourcelimited settings. It integrates general surgery, laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, urology, anesthesia, and pharmacology. The unifying thread is improving surgical care quality, reducing complications, and enhancing patient recovery, while also addressing education, workforce wellbeing, and systemic barriers in surgical services.
