Their mission is to study and advance global surgery, a term used to describe a multidisciplinary field of health care that seeks to improve access to basic surgical procedures for the estimated five billion people worldwide who lack such access.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, some of the GlobalSurg collaborators formed an umbrella group known as the CovidSurg Collaborative.
