Previous to this, surgery suffered from the effects of the genocide: a lot of doctors left the country, or were killed.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, we began rebuilding\u2014and surgery is in the fast lane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: How many surgeons are there in the country?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PK: About forty.\u00a0 The majority are general surgeons, and there are very few specialists: four ENT, two neuros, seven orthos, two urologists, one plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of surgery takes place in the 42 district hospitals, carried out by GPs\u2014they\u2019ve been through medical school, they have their primary qualifications and they can do basic caesarean sections, occasionally laparotomies for ectopic pregnancies, and hernia operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: Do you think the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist is important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PK: It\u2019s just like having your seatbelt\u2014you never know when it will restrain you.<\/p>\n<p>People take the checklist as something that should have been obvious.\u00a0 But it\u2019s always easier to get buy-in if someone has been down the dirty road and experienced a disaster, such as the wrong patient, or the wrong blood. That will win them over very quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: We know that many low-resource hospitals end up with vast warehouses full of donated equipment that is given in good faith, but totally unusable in a different environment.\u00a0 Have you experienced this before?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PK: Of course we have. We\u2019ve had pulse oximeters and other equipment donated\u2014it\u2019s hard to refuse, because people feel we have the need. But then a few months down the road something needs troubleshooting and we don\u2019t know how to repair it. There\u2019s no biomedical engineer, or the engineer doesn\u2019t have experience with that machine and has to guess. We don\u2019t have the spare parts. We don\u2019t even know how to dismantle it for recycling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: How important do you think a working pulse oximeter is to safe surgical practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PK: As regards its importance in surgery\u2014this can\u2019t be overestimated. Every one of us in surgery has worried about a patient\u2019s oxygen level before\u2014the knowledge you get from a pulse oximeter is very reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Lifebox, or to donate, see this week\u2019s <em>BMJ<\/em> or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifebox.org\/\">www.lifebox.org<\/a>.
