The Global Surgery Initiative

The Global Surgery Initiative is a program dedicated to improving access to safe, affordable surgical care worldwide. It aims to address disparities in surgical services, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where many people lack timely treatment for serious conditions. The initiative focuses on strengthening health systems, training local surgeons, and raising awareness about the importance of surgery as a vital component of healthcare. By doing so, it seeks to reduce death and disability from preventable surgical conditions, ensuring better health outcomes and equity across different regions.
