The 2nd Chance mission took place last week, from March 10 to 14, 2025, in Lomé, Togo—a crucial event dedicated to knowledge sharing and skill development in reconstructive surgery across sub-Saharan Africa.
🎙️ Meet Dr. Dominik André-Lévigne, Senior Resident at the HUG (Geneva) and first time trainer for 2nd Chance in this workshop. As an experienced surgeon, he played a vital role by:
✅ Contributing to the training of 16 plastic surgeons from various sub-Saharan African countries
✅ Teaching basic reconstructive surgery techniques, combining fundamental and innovative approaches
✅ Encouraging experience-sharing between African and European surgeons, fostering mutual learning
💬 “What truly inspired me was how participants, both French and English speakers, connected so well, coming from different African countries to build a regional network together.”
🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Dr. André-Lavigne for his dedication and invaluable contributions. His commitment, along with that of the other trainers, empowers these surgeons to develop essential skills and foster a long-term culture of knowledge transfer and collaboration.
