Global Surgery

Global surgery refers to the efforts aimed at improving surgical care for people worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access to surgical services is limited. It encompasses everything from training healthcare professionals and increasing the availability of surgical facilities to ensuring safe procedures and post-operative care. Global surgery seeks to reduce inequalities in accessing necessary surgical treatments, recognizing that millions suffer or die each year from conditions that could be treated with timely surgery. Ultimately, it aims to enhance overall health outcomes and improve wellbeing on a global scale.
