Abstract

Over a period of one week, a surgical team visited three hospitals in two districts of Northern Uganda to offer free surgical services and to teach basic surgical skills to up-country doctors. The team, consisting of 10 surgeons in various specialties, two anesthetists and two surgical residents, saw 500 patients, of whom 272 had surgery. This was the first such surgical camp organised by the Ugandan surgeons. This paper describes the pattern of surgical operations performed and the benefits gained from such a camp.
