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…
Colonisation and its aftermath
Coloniality in global health manifests as systemic inequalities, not based on merit, that benefit one group at the expense of another. Global surgery seeks to advance equity by inserting surgery into the global health agenda; however, it inherits the biases in global health. As a diverse group of global surgery practitioners, we aimed to examine inequities in global surgery. Using a structured, iterative, group Delphi consensus-building process d…
To advance global surgery and anaesthesia, train more advocates
Systematic review of low-income and middle-income country perceptions of visiting surgical teams from high-income countries
Voices beyond the Operating Room
This study was designed to examine the effect of calcitonin gene related peptide on gastric acid secretion in the rat. Calcitonin gene related peptide (1 pmol-1 nmol/rat) injected intravenously inhibited basal gastric acid secretion in awake, freely moving rats. Calcitonin gene related peptide decreased gastric secretion stimulated by histamine, pentagastrin, or bethanecol in anaesthetised rats. The inhibitory effect was immediate and most pronou…
The state of surgery, obstetrics, trauma, and anaesthesia care in Ghana
Addressing power asymmetries in global health
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19AU : PleasenotethatCOVID 19hasbeendefinedasCoro ) pandemic, the Black Lives Matter and Women in Global Health movements, and ongoing calls to decolonise global health have all created space for uncomfortable but important conversations that reveal serious asymmetries of power and privilege that permeate all aspects of global health.
Unseen and unheard
Cancer in Africa has been described as a runaway train as it now kills more Africans than malaria.1 2 There are an estimated 1 million new cases of cancer on the continent every year and this is expected to double by 2030.3 Cancer in Africa is characterised by high mortality and the disparity between mortality rates in Africa and high-income countries (HIC) is most striking for childhood cancers with mortality rates as high as 80% compared with 2…
Innovative financing to fund surgical systems and expand surgical care in low-income and middle-income countries
Strong surgical systems are necessary to prevent premature death and avoidable disability from surgical conditions. The epidemiological transition, which has led to a rising burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries worldwide, will increase the demand for surgical assessment and care as a definitive healthcare intervention. Yet, 5 billion people lack access to timely, affordable and safe surgical and anaesthesia care, with the unmet demand…
How (not) to write about global health
There has been much talk recently in BMJ Global Health , in other journals, and on social media platforms, about equity in global health research. But there has been little guidance on how to write about global health in a way that advances equity and justice. Inspired by a famous satirical article by the Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina, I present some guidelines for how (not) to write about global health.1 It is frequently said that buy-in fro…
Globalization of national surgical, obstetric and anesthesia plans
Efforts from the developed world to improve surgical, anesthesia and obstetric care in low- and middle-income countries have evolved from a primarily volunteer mission trip model to a sustainable health system strengthening approach as private and public stakeholders recognize the enormous health toll and financial burden of surgical disease. The National Surgical, Obstetric and Anesthesia Plan (NSOAP) has been developed as a policy strategy for …
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…
Knowledge, attitudes and practices assessment of malaria interventions in rural Zambia
The current study identified misconceptions in malaria transmission among primary caregivers indicating remaining knowledge gaps in educational campaigns. Participant responses also indicated a misalignment between a low perception of IRS efficacy and high stated acceptance of IRS, which should be further examined to better understand uptake and sustainability of other vector control strategies. While ITNs were found to be used in study household…
Mental health indicators in Apec
BACKGROUND: The World Economic Forum (2011) concluded that the economic impact of mental illness is the single most important contributor among all non-communicable diseases to loss of productivity. The 21 economies represented by Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) responded to that information with efforts to address mental health as an integral component of economic development. AIM: In order to help assess the progress of APEC region com…
