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…
Sustainable surgical financing through philanthropy
BACKGROUND: Surgery is an indispensable component of a health system, yet financing its delivery faces significant financing challenges. This study seeks to address the research question: What is the financial contribution of philanthropy to the delivery of surgical care in low and middle-income countries (LMICs)? METHODOLOGY: This study combines a qualitative and a quantitative component to examine the magnitude of philanthropic contributions in…
Cost-saving strategies for sustainable surgical care
INTRODUCTION: While philanthropy, multilateral support and innovative internal funding approaches remain important to address surgical healthcare needs, there is increasing demand for efficiency models that maximise the impact of available resources. Cost-saving strategies are attractive to governments. We sought to answer the scoping review question: 'What are documented and transferable system-level cost-saving strategies in the provision of su…
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…
‘Climate Change and Health Indicators’ and ‘Surgical System Strengthening’
Climate change is a public health emergency. Yet, incongruously, the healthcare sector is a significant source of global greenhouse gas emissions. Surgical systems are uniquely situated to address this public health crisis due to the high carbon footprint associated with surgical care delivery and the ability of strong surgical systems to foster broader climate resilience. There is an urgent need for climate change and health indicators (CCHIs) s…
Health systems strengthening through surgical and perioperative care pathways
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…
Scalable policy adoption and sustainable implementation of surgical care in the Americas
On September 29, 2023, the Republic of Ecuador convened a meeting to address surgical system strengthening and urge political leaders to invest in surgical infrastructure. The meeting included experts in health diplomacy, innovative financing, implementation strategy and national surgical plans. The event occurred in parallel with the Sixtieth Directing Council of the Pan American Health Organization, Seventy-fifth session of the World Health Org…
Ecuador’s National Surgical Strengthening Plan
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…
Global health, global surgery and mass casualties
Trauma/stroke centres optimise acute 24/7/365 surgical/critical care in high-income countries (HICs). Concepts from low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) offer additional cost-effective healthcare strategies for limited-resource settings when combined with the trauma/stroke centre concept. Mass casualty centres (MCCs) integrate resources for both routine and emergency care—from prevention to acute care to rehabilitation. Integration of t…
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 …
"First Do No Harm." The Impact of Sanctions on Public Health in North Korea
Korea Policy Institute (KPI) Executive Board Member Haeyoung Kim spoke with Dr. Kee Park on December 9, 2019 about his work in the DPRK, the unique features of the North Korean health system, and how geopolitics, above all the US travel ban and sanctions on trade impact public health and human security in North Korea. Dr. Park documents the severe challenges to health care in North Korea, the surprising strengths of the health system, and the con…
