Speaking at a press briefing over the weekend, the President of PASCaTS, Professor Charles Yankah, said the aim of the summit was to empower the youth, especially women to pursue a career in cardiothoracic surgery as it was very important in the health sector.
Also, he stated that, it was to strengthen knowledge and skills of the young generation cardiothoracic surgeons and allied professionals for the future cardiovascular diseases which could be epidemic in Africa, due to financial constraints.
