🚨📣Our Summit of the Future Youth Preparation has started! With the support of @UNFPA , We have gathered the global youth in NY, on the side lines of #UNGA to prepare together for the #SummitoftheFuture happening 2024. #YouthAtUNGA #YouthATSummitoftheFuture #GlobalGoals

@GlobalSurgeryJC Patient based advocacy is extremely critical due to their lived experiences which can inform us how to improve their care.I think patients as stakeholders will help health financing mechanisms move towards making decisions that patients will be more receptive to

@mak_haq Welcome Makinah in the discussion. Feel free to interact.

Q3. What do you see as successful examples or concepts of channeling funds that can deliver tangible results in terms of the nation's overall economy and health standards? #GlobalSurgery #GlobalSurgJC #HealthFinancing #GlobalHealth

‼️ 🗣 Only 1️⃣ hour left to start the November #GlobalSurgJC, we look forward to a lively discussion of this month’s article with you!

Q2. How important is the role of patient advocacy groups in innovative health financing? Do you think having patients as stakeholders can make a difference in the approach to better health financing mechanisms? #GlobalSurgery #GlobalSurgJC #HealthFinancing #GlobalHealth

‼️📬 Important notice to all #GlobalSurgery advocates‼️ Hello ladies and gentlemen. Our November #GlobalSurgJC session will be held in few hours. ⏱ : 02 PM - 6 PM (UTC) Please inform your network, and let's share this friendly discussion among enthusiasts. #HealthForAll

Q1. What are the top health issues that your country's health budget addresses and do you think the budget allocated to it does justice in terms of overall outcomes for patients and the economy as a whole? #GlobalSurgery #GlobalSurgJC #HealthFinancing #GlobalHealth

Thank you for joining us on such an engaging discussion on the global surgery and sustainable development goals! We look forward to another session in November! 🤓🤩 #GlobalSurgery #GlobalSurgJC #PedSurg

@GlobalSurgeryJC 1. Limited modes of transportation 2. Poor road infrastructure 3. Poor connection between major towns/cities 4. Limited trained human capital

@GlobalSurgeryJC Some topics to consider here can be: 1⃣ Concentration of #resources and #healthcare facilities in urban areas, leaving vulnerable and #rural areas apart 2⃣ #Quality of #road and also #RoadSafety 3⃣ Focus on railway transport, but not river transport or other modalities

Q4 The 2 hour threshold for travel to a CEmOC has been proven virtually impossible in LMICs. What role can HICs play in helping to make the 2 hour mark more achievable? #GlobalSurgery #GlobalSurgJC #PedSurg

@GlobalSurgeryJC In this regard, #ethics is crucial. The American Surgical Association Working Group on Academic Global Surgery suggests some ethical principles for partnerships: 1⃣ Focus on #local #surgeons and #patients priorities 2⃣ New collabs should not destabilize previous programs

@GlobalSurgeryJC 3⃣ #Capacity building: minimize the risk of #braindrain & avoid emphasis on costly technology 4⃣ #Research: obey rules of fair #authorship and collaboration 5⃣ Visiting #surgeons should adhere to the same standards for clinical care like at home @aaglobalsurgery @AcademicSurgery

@GlobalSurgeryJC Short answer: None! Long answer: HIC should not automatically assume they can help solve all LMIC problems (sometimes they make them worse). Once a problem had been identified, challenge communities to come up with their own guidelines for context-appropriate prehospital care

@GlobalSurgeryJC Models should consider 'time' especially in cities...for example, the same trip at rush-hour might take 3-4 times longer than the same trip at midnight

@RaymenArviin @GlobalSurgeryJC Great point, LMICs located in areas with more pronounced seasonal changes also have to contend with weather as an impediment to travel.

@ShahnurShah @GlobalSurgeryJC Another excellent point. Quality and size of road infrastructure are often neglected caveats when estimating time of travel.
