Lancet Commission on Global Surgery report

The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery report highlights the global disparities in access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical care. It emphasizes that surgery is essential for addressing many health issues worldwide, yet millions lack these services, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The report calls for increased investment, better healthcare systems, and trained professionals to improve surgical care globally. Improving surgery access can save lives, reduce disabilities, and promote economic growth by ensuring everyone can receive necessary surgical treatment when needed.
