A survey of Ugandan skilled birth attendants regarding beliefs and management of gastroschisis
INTRODUCTION: Gastroschisis mortality is disproportionately high in Africa due in part to delayed presentation and limited surgical capacity. Skilled birth attendants (SBAs) are often the first to encounter these babies and can be an important part of their stabilisation. We assessed baseline Ugandan SBA knowledge of gastroschisis and interest in a training course. METHODS: Southwestern Ugandan SBAs were surveyed regarding practice patterns, comm…
Assessing content validity of learner milestones for decolonial global health education
The field of global health is rooted in colonialism, and many global health partnerships perpetuate colonial power dynamics. To change this, knowledge and praxis in decoloniality must become a fundamental part of global health education and practice. Since there are no current tools in global health education specifically focusing on decolonial praxis, we drew on existing literature to develop a tool designed to measure a learner clinician’s prog…
With equity in mind
There is limited understanding of the role of transcultural, cross-site educational partnerships for global surgery training between high- and low- or middle-income country (LMIC) institutions. We describe the development, delivery, and appraisal of a hybrid, synchronous, semester-long Global Surgical Care course by global health collaborators from widely different contexts, and evaluate the equity of the collaboration. The course was collaborati…
Prioritization of surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia care in India over seven decades
Improving access to surgical care in India requires policy-level prioritization of surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia (SOTA) care. We quantified SOTA care prioritization in the last seven decades by analyzing India’s national policy and programmatic documents. Forty documents of national importance over seven decades (1946–2017) were screened for a set of 52 surgical and 6 non-surgical keywords. The number of mentions per keyword was use…
