Issue Date: | 5-Nov-2022 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd. | Journal: | The Lancet | Abstract: | The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified surgery and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility of planned surgical services around the world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel index to support local elective surgical system strengthening and address growing backlogs. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/33518 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0140-6736(22)01846-3 |
