Grants Winner's Story
I am in my 4th year of Paediatric Surgery training with COSECSA at
Harare Central Children Hospital in Zimbabwe. Winning the RCSI Travel Grant
enabled me to travel to Maputo, Mozambique where I wrote and passed my
MCS examinations. Attending the WISA meeting and COSECSA annual
congress allowed me to meet many great women and men in surgery and
network with them....
