box Global surgery is a multidisciplinary academic field that aims to deliver equitable access to safe, timely, affordable surgical care in all countries.1 Research in global surgery is generally focused in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and has traditionally been led by researchers from high-income countries (HIC), with a sizeable proportion of literature having minimal input from researchers in LMIC at all.2 While the field has grown exponentially and there is more awareness of equity, gender equality, human rights,3 and the need for inclusivity of authors from LMIC, there is still a need for better accountability and ethical framework.4 Accountability is a crucial component in a global surgery project.4 5 Several barriers to achieving accountability have been identified, such as poor infrastructure, lack of partnerships with local collaborators, lack of patient understanding and literacy among many others.6 Another issue may also be limited supervisory systems in LMIC
