Paediatric urology in Sub‐Saharan Africa: challenges and opportunities

The need for paediatric urological care in low‐ and middle‐income countries in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) is enormous due to a burgeoning paediatric‐aged population and a disproportionate burden of congenital malformations. There are formidable challenges in the provision of a skilled workforce and appropriate infrastructure, resulting in a huge unmet need with consequent effects on the long‐term health and prosperity of the population. The provision of shared learning, utilising the benefits of global digital communication, will improve mutual understanding of needs in a resource‐poor environment and the involvement of trainees from both income settings can help perpetuate long‐term collaborations.
