Analysis of bilateral development assistance for surgery in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Surgical care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains underfunded despite representing a significant portion of the Global Burden of Disease. Understanding bilateral development assistance for surgery is crucial to address this disparity. METHODS: We conducted a narrative review and quantitative analysis of bilateral development assistance for surgery in LMICs from 2014 to 2022 using data from the Institute for Health Metr…
Global disparities in caesarean section rates
Reducing surgical site infections and mortality among obstetric surgical patients in Tanzania
INTRODUCTION: Despite ongoing maternal health interventions, maternal deaths in Tanzania remain high. One of the main causes of maternal mortality includes postoperative infections. Surgical site infection (SSI) rates are higher in low/middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Tanzania, compared with high-income countries. We evaluated the impact of a multicomponent safe surgery intervention in Tanzania, hypothesising it would (1) increase adheren…
Building safe surgery knowledge and capacity in Cambodia
BACKGROUND: Working in partnership with the Cambodian Ministry of Health, the Safe Surgery 2020 initiative (SS2020) supports the prioritization of surgery and mobilization of resources to target limited workforce capacity. An evaluation study was conducted to assess the impact of SS2020 on intervention hospitals in Cambodia. OBJECTIVE: To understand the impact of the SS2020 program on intervention hospitals in Cambodia by assessing the changes in…
Assessing completeness of patient medical records of surgical and obstetric patients in Northern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Strengthening surgical services in resource-constrained settings is contingent on using high-quality data to inform decision making at clinical, facility, and policy levels. However, the evidence is sparse on gaps in paper-based medical record quality for surgical and obstetric patients in low-resource settings. OBJECTIVE: We aim to examine surgical and obstetric patient medical record data quality in health facilities as part of a su…
