Worldwide 5 billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. Widespread provision of surgical care can greatly reduce death and disability. This SSM aims to provide an introduction to the deficit and inequalities in surgical care worldwide.
Students will be attached to and supervised by Consultants within the Oxford Global Surgery Network. They will be expected to attend departmental research meetings and Global Surgery teaching programmes (Thursdays, TC/SN). Students will be encouraged to liaise with those involved in Global Surgery related clinical, research and training activities.
Each student will be expected to undertake a short project based on their area of interest. Possible areas of study include comparative studies between Low/Middle Income Countries(LMIC) and High Income Countries, the barriers to effective delivery of surgical care in LMIC, the difficulties in setting up research in LMIC, use of technology for delivery of surgical care. The project may form the basis of future studies in this area.
