Garzali Ibrahim Umar, on Sunday, called on the newly elected leaders in the country to assist in the training/provision of liver surgeons in Nigeria, lamenting that at the moment, the country doesn’t have any

The Chairman Local Organising Committee for the 2nd Liver Surgery Symposium, scheduled to hold tomorrow (Tuesday 13th June 2023) at the Conference Hall of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano has disclosed

In a statement, issued by Hauwa Abdullahi, AKTH Deputy Director, Information, said Dr

Garzali Ibrahim Umar recalled that in 2021, the Department of Surgery of AKTH organised a similar symposium on Liver Surgery and top on its communique was an advocate for Liver Surgeons in Nigeria because patients with liver problems, who required surgical intervention continue to suffer and many of them, who cannot afford to travel abroad for the treatment were left to languish hence the continued advocacy to train a liver Surgeon has become necessary

According to him, in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital alone, there are over 10 sub-specialty surgeons in Neurology, Cardiology, and Spine, as well as in Kidney and Refairs of congenital problems, who have been in the hospital and beyond doing their job, recording remarkable progress for decades but no Liver surgeons yet

He, therefore, called on all Nigerians to assist in promoting and sustaining the crusade until the mission is accomplished

According, to the statement issued by the Chairman, the theme of the 2nd Liver Surgery Symposium: “Thus Multidisciplinary Approach to Management of Portal Hypertension” has invited different Medical Doctors to brainstorm

It is an overview of Portal Hypertension, among Paediatric & Adult patients by Drs Bashiruddeen Lawal and Muhd Gaddafi Manzo, Hematological Changes in Portal Hypertension by Dr

Usman Abdullahi Makuku, Non-Surgical Treatment of Portal Hypertension by Dr Habibu Tijjani Saleh, Radiological Evaluation & Intervention by Dr Muhd Ali Shehu and Anesthetic Consideration by Dr Kabir Usman Aliyu among others.
