The appetite to want to strengthen and innovate global surgical systems is very much alive. Equitable access to safe surgery is fundamental to achieve #UHC and the #SDGs. Incredible to hear so many diverse views on how we can upscale surgical care. We must act now, and together.

"Without #surgery, we cannot have functioning health systems."

Fantastic to hear from such an esteemed panel of #GlobalHealth leaders on the importance of surgery in upscaling surgical care at the #WHA75.
