Global Anaesthesia Series: Episode 3, The building of GADP (ZADP/ EADP)
In this third part of our Global Anaesthesia podcast miniseries, Jan and Fi talk to Dr Emma Coley and Dr Anna Janowicz about their experiences in Zambia and Ethiopia on the Global Anaesthesia Development Programme (GADP), and its Zambian offshoot, ZADP.
From applying low resource-setting solutions back in the UK and appreciating the dedication of local clinical teams to the world's largest fruit bat migration, Emma and Anna bring some rich insights from their experiences in global anaesthesia to the conversation.
