ABOUT US

An international non-profit organization for medical, public health, nursing students, residents, young doctors and early career professionals in the field of global surgery. We represent over 10,000 members in over 80 countries and 60+ fully established National Working Groups (NWGs) across all world regions. InciSioN specialises in medical student and general public content creation on global surgery. 

InciSioN operates as a recognized global civil society organization with engagement at the highest levels of global health governance. The organization holds special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and is a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Youth Council as well as the WHO Civil Society Commission. Through these mechanisms, InciSioN represents youth voices in shaping policies related to surgical systems, workforce development, and universal health coverage. 

Beyond these institutional linkages, InciSioN collaborates directly with several WHO departments and initiatives, including the WHO’s Acute Care Action Network (ACAN), and has participated in regional consultations, global policy dialogues, and multi-stakeholder forums where surgical systems are discussed within the broader health systems strengthening agenda. Through such involvement, InciSioN bridges the grassroots and policy levels — linking students, trainees, and early-career professionals to the global governance spaces where decisions about surgical care are made.
