Welcome

Dear AO Trauma Country General Assembly participant,

on behalf of AO Trauma Europe and Southern Africa (AO TESA), we welcome you to the meeting of Team Europe.

The program has been set up specifically—by faculty, for faculty.
 
The aim is to strengthen the AO spirit across Europe and Southern Africa and to bring together all of the diversity and experience that
this amazing region represents.

We’ve found it very exciting to be able to set up this event and we’re very grateful for the support of the AO worldwide, our industrial
partners, and AO faculty and officers.

It’s a real privilege to host this event and we hope that you will enjoy  yourselves.
 

With best wishes,
 
Reto Babst
