Oxford University Global Surgery Group

About us

GSmeal2018

 

Welcome to Oxford University Global Surgery Group (OUGSG), a group of clinicians and researchers based in Oxford working together to contribute to the provision of high quality surgical care globally, particularly in low and middle income countries (LMICs).

Our AIMS

  1. To advocate for global equity in surgery, obstetrics and anaesthesia

  2. To work with and support partners in LMICs who are engaged in clinical, educational and research activities in surgery, obstetrics and anaesthesia. 

  3. To be a resource of advice and opportunities for those who wish to be involved in improving surgical, obstetric and anaesthetic services globally.

UNIVERSITY AFFILIATION

OUGSG is affiliated to the four Oxford University departments in the Medical Sciences Division that have an interest in global surgery, namely:

The OUGSG web pages are hosted by NDORMS and the administration of the group is shared between NDS and NDORMS. 

We are also linked to the Oxford Global Health & Care Systems (OGHCS) Hub, a cross-departmental initiative within the University of Oxford aimed at promoting multi and inter-disciplinary research to strengthen the health and care systems of countries around the world
