Solar powered paediatric surgery. ✅

We're so excited to launch a new solar surgery system w/ Smile Train! Our battery will power entire theatres, eliminating reliance on unpredictable power grids ☀️

Going solar will:
📉 Reduce cost & carbon footprint
📈 Enhance quality of care

KidsOR has now created an additional $2.5Billion of economic benefit for our partner countries. Is investing in #surgery and surgical teams, one of the smartest investments we can make in global health… Kids Operating Room Gillian Keegan #health #fairaid #globalhealth

A new approach to powering our Operating Rooms in LMICs is coming, 🔋reducing more than 1.5Tonnes of Co2, per operating room, every year… that’s the equivalent of what 75 growing trees, would offset in one year!! 🌞☀️⚡️

I had the unique opportunity to see #LittleAmal in NewYork, earlier this week. She carries a message of #hope for displaced children everywhere, who are fleeing war, violence and persecution! She is an international symbol of compassion and #HumanRights

Thank you to Oxford University Global Surgery Group for inviting me to lecture again. So inspiring to meet the next generation of global surgery leaders… Good luck everyone with the rest of the course…

End of an Era today… it was an early start today watching the funeral from my NY Hotel room… So very sad! But Britain did her proud these past days as the world watched on!!! Proud to be British! God Save the King 👑

Nicola and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal family at this time. May her lifetime of service be an inspiration to us all and may she now rest in peace ❤️
