About the event

The organizer presents this as both an annual surgical congress and an AGM with elections. The announced theme places surgery within Botswana’s wider health-service priorities, giving surgical teams and other healthcare professionals a shared subject for discussion.

The published invitation explicitly includes members and nonmembers, residents, medical officers, nurses, students and nonmedical staff. A full scientific timetable and speaker list were not available in the inspected event materials, so individual clinical sessions are not yet specified here.
