Without access to basic surgical care, common and easily treatable illnesses and injuries can cause disability or death.

According to the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, the need for safe surgery in low-income countries is sobering. 

 

Of the 7 billion people on earth, 5 billion lack access to safe, timely and affordable surgical care, including anesthesia.
