Graduate medical student Louisa Woolley has written a literature review 'Intestinal atresia in neonates across the globe' with the supervision of Professor Kokila Lakhoo from the Oxford University Global Surgery Group.
In this review, Louisa analysed the disparity in mortality rates for infants with intestinal atresia between lower income countries and higher income countries.
For this work, Louisa received a merit from Oxford Medical School. Louisa is working on publishing this review and hopes to complete further projects with Professor Lakhoo, investigating globally under-studied neonatal surgical conditions.
