Two of SA’s top paediatric surgeons were at Frere Hospital last week to repair complex congenital defects in children and infants, at the invitation of the Eyabantwana Children’s Trust. Tarryn Gabler and Giulia Brisighelli spent between six to eight hours each day in surgery for eight patients on Thursday and Friday, while teaching young doctors at Frere new surgical methods as a part of an academic exchange.
