WHAT IS GLOBAL SURGERY ?
Global Surgery is defined as a fastgrowing "area of study, research, practice, and advocacy that seeks to improve health outcomes and achieve health equity for all people who need surgical and anaesthesia care, with a special emphasis on underserved populations and populations in crisis. It uses collaborative, cross-sectoral, and transnational approaches and is a synthesis of population-based strategies with individual surgical and anaesthesia care".
GLOBAL SURGERY EDUCATION LEADERSHIP (GSEL) SERIES ON #YOUTUBE
Started in October 2024, the Global Surgical Education Leadership (GSEL) series aims to elevate global surgical knowledge through virtual seminars, connecting a diverse audience with leading experts in surgery and healthcare. By bringing together esteemed professionals from prestigious institutions, the series fosters an engaging educational environment that explores cutting-edge topics in public health, surgical innovation, and medical technologies.
In 2018, InciSioN established and piloted its standardized three-day global surgery advocacy workshop aiming to equip participants with the needed knowledge and skills to advocate for global surgery and universal health coverage (UHC).
Through a 27-hour combination of traditional didactic lectures and interactive practical discussions and exercises, participants are trained to become well-versed in the theoretical background of global surgery, UHC, and health systems, and how to meaningfully and efficiently advocate for the cause in their countries and beyond.
