Catalytic fund for surgical care systems launched

The Global Surgery Foundation (GSF) officially launched SURGfund at its 76th World Health Assembly side-event in May in Switzerland. Answering the call for a coordinated funding mechanism for surgical care systems, SURGfund will provide much-needed financing for surgical system strengthening in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on four key entry points: maternal health, paediatric surgery, trauma and injury, and cancer surgery. Despite proven benefits for the entire health system, surgical care remains one of the most neglected gaps in global health which stands as a barrier to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals.
