Global Surgery at the WHO

Started by Jaymie Claire Ang Henry on 15 Aug 2011

Global Surgery at the WHO is through the Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (EESC) program, which was started in 2004 and has spread to more than 38 low-and-middle income countries worldwide. The program has launched numerous tools for bringing surgical care to the grassroots level, including a comprehensive manual on the most basic surgical procedures, policy aids to establish surgical care, a checklist of essential surgical equipment, and more. All these tools are for free and can be downloaded from the website at http://www.who.int/surgery/en/
