What next for surgery and anaesthesia? Civil Society and global solutions
What next for surgery and anaesthesia? Civil Society and global solutions
5 billion people do not have access to safe surgical and anaesthetic care.
What is civil society doing to support World Health Assembly Resolution 68.15, and prepare tomorrow’s workforce?
Lifebox Foundation and the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists invite you to a panel about turning practical action into long-term change.
It’s two years since the resolution affirming surgery and anaesthesia as essential components of universal health coverage. On this critical anniversary, join Lifebox, the WFSA and other leading voices in civil society – including InciSioN, Operation Smile and the G4 Alliance – to discuss. Highlights include a ground-breaking study putting the anaesthesia workforce on the map; student action around the world, and how locally-led projects strengthen NGO impact.
A representative from the Zambian Ministry of Health, one of the leading countries to push the resolution forward, will also share perspectives on partnership and progress being made.
