A lifesaving airway procedure shouldn't require expensive training equipment. These authors developed a reusable cricothyroidotomy simulator costing just $1.84, with each additional attempt costing $0.85.
Just $51 left to make this research open access.

From *Rekindle**Embrace, Innovate & Advance* and *Surgery Without Borders*—what a journey 📖

For 2026, we're asking: how do we move from promise to practice?

What story should we publish next?

Want to advocate to access to surgical care? @InciSioNGlobal wants you to shape the future:

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

Young people shouldn't just watch the #UHCDay campaign—they should shape it. 🌍

Explore the Youth Challenge, share your perspective (without pressure to disclose personal details) and recognise advocates.

What's one barrier you'd put on the agenda?

[SoMe4GlobalSurgery @SoMe4GS]

Thank JoGS for going strong! https://t.co/VHGG0OgotV

[The Journal Of Global Surgery (ONE) @jogs_one]

It's International Open Access Week, and we are sharing our new approach to open access publishing at the Journal of Global Surgery. We believe academic publishing can be more affordable, equitable and sustainable, without compromising on quality.

Hot off the press:

[Association of Academic Global Surgery @aaglobalsurgery]

🌍 The September AAGS Newsletter is here!

📖https://t.co/PS5c4AR7q5

This issue asks an important question:
How do we move from representation → participation → impact across academic global surgery?

What’s inside 🧵

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

Surgery doesn’t stop during a pandemic—and neither should access to lifesaving care.

🌏🌍🌎

At #UNGA81, InciSioN is advocating for surgical, obstetric, and anesthesia care to be recognized as essential components of pandemic preparedness and health-system resilience.
