摘要

Similar to other sub-Saharan regions, east African countries struggle to meet their overwhelming medical challenges, including a lack of well-trained doctors. New strategies for sub-speciality training are underway that may improve the workforce for head and neck surgeons and lessen the burden for patients with morbid and life-threatening diseases of this region. Detailing this approach is intended to encourage further training activity, increase global awareness, and create more intercontinental collaboration toward an improved skilled surgical workforce.
