Quantifying multilateral contributions to surgical system development in low- and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: Financial limitations have stalled the implementation of national surgical plans in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), which significantly rely on development assistance for their health expenditures. This paper describes the challenges and opportunities in accessing development assistance from multilateral organisations and quantifies the trends of their financial contributions to surgical systems in LMICs. METHODS: We analy…
A pilot study on the acceptability and safety of collaborative triage and treatment with traditional bonesetters for extremity fracture patients
INTRODUCTION: Fracture patients in resource-limited settings frequently attend traditional bonesetters (TBSs), often resulting in non/malunion or infectious complications. Intersectoral collaboration between formal healthcare and TBSs has the potential to make this practice safer but has never been tested previously. This pilot study assesses the acceptability and safety of collaborative fracture management (CFM). METHODS: Within a pilot stepped-…
Broad Support Among Stakeholders for Collaboration Between Traditional Bonesetters and Formal Healthcare
Extremity fractures are increasingly common in Sub-Saharan Africa. In many resource-limited settings, patients with fractures have historically sought out traditional bonesetters (TBSs) and continue to do so, in part due to the undercapacity of existing orthopedic facilities. This qualitative study investigates key stakeholder perspectives on intersectoral collaboration between the formal healthcare system and TBSs in treating extremity fractures…
