From Short-term Surgical Missions Towards Sustainable Partnerships. A Survey Among Members of Foreign Teams

Introduction: Recently, the devastating consequences of neglected surgical care in global health became apparent with an estimated five billion people lacking access to safe surgical and anesthesia care. Traditionally, short-term surgical missions were the predominant strategy how surgical care was supported in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Although surgical missions have been criticized in recent literature they are still being performed on a large scale. The aim of this study is to provide recommendations for persons and organizations involved in surgical mission on how to strengthen surgical care in LMICs in the future.

Method: An online survey was developed for members of foreign teams. Data was collected on 5 topics, consisting of: 1) basic characteristics of the missions, 2) main activities, 2) follow-up and reporting, 3) the local registration process for foreign teams and 4) collaboration with local stakeholders.
