 In June 2026 Professor Ram Subramaniam, Consultant Paediatric Urologist, led the fourth Urolink Paediatric Urology Workshop at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, delivering advanced surgical training alongside life-changing care for children with complex urological conditions. Over five days, 11 challenging operations were completed while local surgeons developed the skills and confidence to perform increasingly complex procedures independently. Despite significant resource constraints, the workshop strengthened sustainable paediatric urology services, inspired future specialists, and demonstrated the lasting impact of long-term collaboration between Urolink, BAUS, and the surgical team at Kamuzu Central Hospital.
