1,000 Hernias Repaired in Project

May 2024

As our largest workstream goes from strength to strength, we are delighted to report that during the month of April 2024 the AMHSI passed 1,000 repairs in project. This, across the three countries of Tanzania, Sierra Leone and Ghana. The eRegistry is up and running and has made data capture and interrogation much easier. Standards remain exceptionally high with no reported recurrence, a significant infection rate of <1% and a chronic pain rate of <1%. This is absolutely fantastic news and we are so proud of, and grateful for, all our enrolled centres for their hard work and diligence.
