Prioritizing Essential Surgery and Safe Anesthesia Services for Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Globally, 5 million deaths and 279 million DALYs were attributed to injuries in 2010 and injuries accounted for 11% of the global total disease burden. Basic surgical care has the potential to play a role in reducing the injury-related burden in low and middle income countries. Surgical and anesthesia care is an emerging global health issue, and methodologies are needed to assess the impact of surgical and anesthesia care from a global health perspective.
