Recently, a SIGH grant was awarded which allowed Dr. Tivane and Dr. Cossa, two cardiothoracic surgeons from Maputo, Mozambique, to come to the United States and attend the annual meeting for the international organization, the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) in San Diego, CA from April 26- May 1.
Dr. Adriano Tivane commented, “Taking part in such an important meeting was unique. I knew about this meeting since I was a trainee. This meeting allowed me to increase my knowledge on Congenital and Adult Cardiothoracic Surgery. I had the opportunity to update protocols and meet new people.”
As SIGH continues to fundraise, we hope to be able to continue to grant funding to support this partnership.
