I remember being in one country in Africa when a hospital medical director sadly informed me regarding the birth of a newborn with a congenital abnormality, “ we never try to operate since they all die”. With 140 newborns per year globally, we must act now.

Authors call for improved access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs to reduce mortality. @GlobalPaedSurg

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

2 in 5, 1 in 5, 1 in 20—chances of dying from a gastrointestinal congenital anomaly in low, middle, and high-income countries.

#SDG 3.2 to end preventable deaths in neonates and children <5 by 2030 is unachievable without urgent action, study suggests: https://t.co/Gyl2rpvOdw

Shocking differences in survival identified in the @GlobalPaedSurg study just published @TheLancet - 40% of babies dying with GI #birth #defects in LICs vs 6% in HICs. Urgent call for improved #neonatal #surgical care in #LMICs globally #globalsurgery

[Dominique Vervoort @DVervoort94]

The @GlobalPaedSurg study championed by @PaedsSurgeon is out @TheLancet:

In low-income countries, children with gastrointestinal congenital anomalies have a 39.8% in-hospital mortality.

In high-income countries, mortality is 5.6%.

@GlobalPaedSurg study has just been published through @TheLancet
The clear significant difference in mortality for congenital anomalies; especially gastroschisis among counties categorized by income deserves a real global quick attention and actions.
