Abstract

This issue of the Journal features an article describing the Mbarara Surgical Services Quality Assurance Database (Mbarara SQUAD). The authors are to be congratulated on successfully implementing a 5-year surgical registry in Uganda, inclusive of all surgical specialities and registering more than 50 000 patients.¹ The effort both underlines the importance of constructing such databases and the need to improve methodologies for collecting data.
