The Lancet Neurology's Feature “Training non-physicians as neurosurgeons in sub-Saharan Africa”¹ argued that, even though most people in high income countries “would be flabbergasted by the idea”, we should consider it since sub-Saharan nations will not soon “produce (neurosurgeons) in large numbers”. We would like to balance this proposition with our own views as African neurosurgeons.

关于非洲专家在非洲取得的进展

《柳叶刀》《神经病学》的专着“在撒哈拉以南非洲培训非医师作为神经外科医师” ¹指出，即使高收入国家的大多数人“都会对这个想法感到沮丧”，但我们应该考虑一下，因为撒哈拉以南国家会不久后“大量生产（神经外科医生）”。我们希望在这一主张与我们作为非洲神经外科医生的观点之间取得平衡。
