“…Colonization bought with it the introduction of colonial ideologies and medicinal approaches which were a stark contrast to Māori world views of connection and collectivity. Instead, dominant ideologies endorsed division, resulting in the promotion of health as a separate and individualistic function of these domains [4]. Today, Māori conceptualizations of health and wellbeing continue to be dismissed within dominant biomedical models of health [5] and the role of Māori whānau remains displaced within health institutions such as public hospitals.…”

The predominant focus of Aotearoa New Zealand’s public health system on biomedical models of health has left little room for meaningful engagement with holistic indigenous approaches. Culturally appropriate provision and support are recognized for their relevance and importance during hospital transferals. Hospital staff involved in transfers to one of New Zealand’s trauma centers share their observations of whānau Māori engagement during an admission away from their home base. Sixteen key informants share their experiences, which are presented as strategies and challenges to whānau engagement. Three main themes highlight challenges within the health system that make it difficult for hospital staff to engage whānau in the desired ways and as often as both parties would like. Key informants described services and practices that are not designed with patients and their whānau in mind; instead they are designed by clinicians around the needs of administrative systems. As employees within the public health system, key informants felt powerless to challenge dominant settings. Nevertheless, employees managed to circumnavigate processes. Our findings highlight the need for continued decolonization and anti-racism work within public health settings.

Making heart-lung machines work in India: Imports, indigenous innovation and the challenge of replicating cardiac surgery in Bombay, 1952-1962

In 1962, surgeons at two hospitals in Bombay used heart-lung machines to perform open-heart surgery. The devices that made this work possible had been developed in Minneapolis in 1955 and commercialized by 1957. However, restrictions on currency exchange and foreign imports made it difficult for surgeons in India to acquire this new technology. The two surgeons, Kersi Dastur and PK Sen, pursued different strategies to acquire the ideas, equipment, and tacit knowledge needed to make open-heart surgery work. While Dastur tapped Parsi networks that linked him to local manufacturing expertise, Sen took advantage of opportunities offered by the Rockefeller Foundation to access international training and medical device companies. Each experienced steep learning curves as they pursued the know-how needed to use the machines successfully in dogs and then patients. The establishment of open-heart surgery in India required the investment of substantial labor and resources. Specific local, national, and transnational interests motivated the efforts. Heart-lung machines, for instance, took on new meanings amid the nationalist politics of independent India: Even as surgeons sought imported machines, they and their allies assigned considerable value to 'indigenous' innovation. The confluence of the many interests that made Sen and Dastur's work possible facilitated the uneasy co-existence of conflicting judgments about the success or failure of this medical innovation.

Travelling Surgical fellowship (TSF) is a longstanding tradition encouraging out-of-programmed surgical training, fostering collegiality and collaboration amongst surgeons. This is a retrospective review that explores its historical context and examines existing and likely future trends regarding the number of fellows and their host countries. On the other hand, the creative use of online platforms in surgical education, collaboration, and training is now increasingly being offered as an alternative to traditional face-to-face activities, including live surgeries, continuous surgical education, conference attendance, and surgical mentoring. Within this context, the value of travel and physical face-to-face engagements needs to be explored and defined. This paper aims to address this need by examining the current trends of TSF and Colorectal traveling fellowships (CTF) and their future direction in addition to providing analysis of the most valued experiences within CTF programs, as well as the overall clinical and personal impacts. For colorectal traveling fellowships), additional quantitative, and qualitative analyses are provided focusing on the most valued theme-based surgical experiences, their merits, and their impacts. In Travelling surgical fellowship Trends were based on a total of 350 awarded fellowships from 2000-2019. Analysis of Colorectal traveling fellowships was based on 98 fellowships offered between 2010 and 2019. This review offers an opportunity to examine the possible long-term disruptive effect of COVID-19 by the accelerated utilization of internet-based virtual interactive education in case of absence of such traveling fellowship for Colo-rectal surgeons.
