An excellent keynote on the challenges of global surgery by @DGHisham. It was pleasing to hear that Malaysia is seriously thinking about solutions and demonstrating implementation.
Pleased to meet with @Khairykj, #Malaysia Health Minister, at #WHA75. I thanked him for 🇲🇾's support for sustainable financing of @WHO; for leadership on behavioural insights for health work; efforts to control tobacco use in the country; & to advance safe surgery. #HealthForAll
Increasing access to quality, safe and affordable surgery remains a priority. The development of sustainable solutions to improve outcomes is a key approach. #GlobalSurgeryDay#WHA75#suvaguidelines
Surgical care shouldn't be a luxury & is an essential part of #UniversalHealthCoverage. We must move away from addressing single system elements in siloed approaches as we develop surgical care ecosystems.
Pleased to be among health leaders who are paving the way in this space.
Evidence from LMICs shows that SUVA guidelines & interventions reduced surgical mortality & infection, reduced trauma mortality plus maternal & perinatal mortality. These recommendations are relatively low-cost & high yield & can be turned to best practices.

At the 75th World Health Assembly side event by G4 Alliance & International Society of Surgery today, Malaysia had the opportunity to share our experience in improving the safety of surgical, obstetric, trauma & anaesthesia care based on international standards & guidelines
On day 2 of the 75th WHA saw discussions on improving preparedness & response of public health emergencies particularly in light of the protracted COVID-19 pandemic. Also happening, the introduction of the SUVA guidelines from the G4 Alliance & ISS. @sokolo12@MohGambia
An inspiring moment to see the launch of the Suva Guidelines at the 75th World Health Assembly. @theG4Alliance and @iss_sic have done amazing work in advocating solutions to advance quality and safe care for the neglected surgical patient. #suvaguidelines#WHA75#GlobalSurgery
