Abstract

An unexpectedly high burden of elective paediatric surgery is being performed by the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeons in Moshi, Tanzania. We believe this brief survey demonstrates the capacity for elective paediatric surgery in the sub-Saharan setting, comparable to the elective operative numbers of an equivalent tertiary centre in Liverpool, UK.
