Makalanda, “We treat this initiative as a service for our nation; Markss Wellness Campaign touched the trainee Urological Surgeons through this novel knowledge sharing project. We will continue to enhance extensive knowledge and the best practices in the future”.
An eminent guest panelist, “This course was made extra special as all these top level surgeons made them-selves available throughout the sessions to tutor the trainee surgeons one on one basis. They proved not only to be great teachers but also phenomenal mentors for the up and coming surgeons. The work shop was based on several surgical techniques for urinary system related to repairing damaged and diseased ureters. These procedures are being used in great many occasions with unprecedented success in the hands of the present day surgeons. Further training on procedures such as these will ensure continued success in the hands of future surgeons”.
