The best cervical cancer surgery is the one prevention makes unnecessary.

Only 15–20% of girls receive an HPV vaccine dose by age 15, while HPV-based screening remains below 20%.

Vaccinate. Screen. Treat early.

📸 From DR Congo to Nepal, Uganda to the Philippines, your photos captured the people, systems, and stories behind surgical care.

Behind every operation is a team. Behind every saved life is a system.

What if being a woman or girl affected whether you received emergency surgical care... and how quickly?

🚑⚖️ Across trauma, burns, & emergency surgery, women often face delays & barriers before treatment even begins.

🌪️🧠 Disasters don't affect everyone equally.

Our latest infographic explores the intersection of climate disasters, traumatic brain injury, and inequity... and why stronger neurotrauma systems matter.

#GSW2026 #GSD26 #Neurotrauma #SystemsDoSaveLives

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

🧠 Traumatic brain injury affects 69 million people yearly, yet remains largely invisible in global health policy and financing.

📊 the burden
⚠️ the rehab gap
🌍 the LMIC impact
🎯 and a framework for action

TBI can no longer remain invisible.

🩺 Surgery does not end when the operation ends.

Millions die from preventable post-op complications due to gaps in monitoring, ICU capacity, workforce and systems.

This carousel explores the post-op crisis and what must change.

#GSD26 #GSW2026 #GlobalSurgery

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

She needed surgery 8 hours ago.

But the delays started long before the operating room.

No ambulance.
No blood.
No ICU bed.
No follow-up.
Too many patients are still failed at every step of the journey.
Systems do save lives.
#GSD26 #GSW2026 #GlobalSurgery

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

She needed surgery 8 hours ago.

The delays started:
🏠 at home
🚑 during transport
🏥 inside the hospital
🩺 after surgery
No ambulance.
No blood.
No ICU.
No follow-up.
Emergency systems decide survival.

🌍 Happy #GSD26

Don’t know where to start in global surgery?
#SURGHub is where InciSioN leaders and future global surgery advocates go to grow.
And yes — it’s free.

Because the future of global surgery depends on informed, empowered and connected people.

🌍 Happy Global Surgery Day 2026.

This carousel follows where delays happen:
🚨 before hospital arrival
🏥 inside hospitals
🔗 across referral systems
📊 and the global burden of conditions that cannot wait

Because systems do save lives.

#GSD26 #GSW2026 #GlobalSurgery

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

WHAT DAY IS IT TODAY?
🌍 GLOBAL SURGERY DAY.

Today we raise our voices for the patients still waiting too long for life-saving care.

Because systems do save lives.
And surgery is global health.

Happy #GSD26 🚑🏥🔪

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

🌍 Happy Global Surgery Day 2026.
Systems do save lives.

From awareness and transport to referral, operative care and recovery, every link in the system affects whether patients survive.

Integrated Emergency, Critical & Operative care saves lives because every link matters.

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

The date passed. The crisis didn’t. 💜

500,000+ women and girls still live with obstetric fistula — a preventable childbirth injury caused by care that came too late.

Awareness can’t end on May 23. Healthcare is a right.

#EndFistula #MaternalHealth

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

The future of global health depends on more than surgery alone.

From workforce to transport, energy, rehab, financing & digital infrastructure, #GSD26 is about the systems behind Emergency, Critical & Operative care.

Following #WHA79 and ahead of the WHO ECO Strategy, we want voices from across global health involved — not only surgery.

[InciSioN @InciSioNGlobal]

Young people live the consequences of weak surgical systems every day, yet their voices remain excluded from policy spaces.

Youth bring evidence, lived experience & innovation. Safe surgery is a right, and youth must help shape its future.
