CNIS 100 Notable - 2025

As we reflect on the success of the CNIS Open House held on November 9, we proudly recognize the 100 Notables whose contributions have been instrumental in advancing surgical and obstetrical education.

During the event, we highlighted the Notables from P–Y. First acknowledged in 2020, these individuals played a pivotal role in shaping CNIS’s work throughout its first 25 years, and many continue to support our mission as we celebrate our 30th year.

Through their teaching, mentorship, advocacy, and partnerships, they have helped strengthen health systems, expand access to essential surgical care, and improve outcomes for patients in regions where the need is greatest. Their lasting impact continues to inspire and advance the work of CNIS around the world.
