Colloquium on Circumcision
The PHRU in conjunction with the Department of Surgery at Chris Hani
Baragwanath Hospital hosted a colloquium on circumcision on 6 June 2006.
We felt that was an appropriate time to do so on the eve of interim results
from two randomised trials in Africa that may confirm the findings of
a recently published trial conducted in Orange Farm.
If the two trials do confirm these exciting results, then attention will
have to be paid to scaling up and implementing circumcision on a wide
scale.
