  • Barriers, facilitators and strategies for implementing on-site hospital solar power in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessCortland Linder, Riya Tellis et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Healthcare facility power-outages in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are common and affect patient outcomes. Decentralised solar energy has the potential to reduce power-outages in healthcare settings, yet adoption in LMIC remains modest. This study aimed to identify and prioritise the barriers, facilitators and strategies of on-site healthcare facility solar power implementation. METHODS: Methodology was conducted in three…

  • Energy security as a crucial component of health infrastructure

    Open AccessSivesh K Kamarajah, Adesoji Ademuyiwa et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Planetary Health2025

    Energy security, defined as the availability of reliable, clean, and sustainable energy necessary to ensure the continuous operation of health-care facilities, is essential for delivering safe and effective health care. Yet, it is rarely measured, financed, or governed as a component of core health infrastructure. Evidence from nearly a thousand hospitals shows that power outages were common, especially in lower-income settings, disrupting surger…

  • Achieving Surgical, Obstetric, Trauma, and Anesthesia (Sota) care for all in South Asia

    Open AccessSiddhesh Zadey, Shirish Rao et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    South Asia is a demographically crucial, economically aspiring, and socio-culturally diverse region in the world. The region contributes to a large burden of surgically-treatable disease conditions. A large number of people in South Asia cannot access safe and affordable surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia (SOTA) care when in need. Yet, attention to the region in Global Surgery and Global Health is limited. Here, we assess the status of S…

  • Health systems strengthening through surgical and perioperative care pathways

    Open AccessSivesh K Kamarajah, Adesoji Ademuyiwa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Global health has traditionally focused on the primary health development with disease-specific focus such as HIV, malaria and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As such, surgery has traditionally been neglected in global health as investment in them is often expensive, relative to these other priorities. Therefore, efforts to improve surgical care have remained on the periphery of initiatives in health system strengthening. However, today, many w…

  • Environmentally sustainable surgical systems

    Open AccessVirginia Ledda, Adewale Adisa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Surgeons, anaesthetists, wider surgical teams and hospital managers are a large global group that has the capacity and power to play a leadership role to contribute to change. Hospitals are a good target for improvement since they are centres of communities, linking together surrounding healthcare facilities and influencing wider determinants of the environment. District and rural hospitals are good sites to start since they serve large populatio…

  • Academic global surgical competencies

    Open AccessNatalie Pawlak, Christine Dart et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Academic global surgery is a rapidly growing field that aims to improve access to safe surgical care worldwide. However, no universally accepted competencies exist to inform this developing field. A consensus-based approach, with input from a diverse group of experts, is needed to identify essential competencies that will lead to standardization in this field. A task force was set up using snowball sampling to recruit a broad group of content and…
