Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Surgical Care
  • Health Systems Strengthening

Background:

  • The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery highlights surgical care as a vital health system component.
  • International aid often relies on short-term missions, neglecting sustainable local capacity development.
  • Pediatric surgical care remains a critical, underserved area in global health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline Kids Operating Room's (KidsOR) model for transforming pediatric surgical care in low-resource settings.
  • To advocate for a sustainable aid model emphasizing local empowerment and integrated healthcare.
  • To demonstrate the impact of investing in infrastructure and human resources for child surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Establishing fully equipped operating rooms in partner hospitals.
  • Implementing funding programs for training local surgeons and anesthetists.
  • Focusing on long-term capacity building and local integration of surgical services.

Main Results:

  • Operating rooms delivered to partner hospitals at an average rate of one per 12 days.
  • Commitment to opening 120 new operating rooms in Africa by 2030.
  • Projected achievement of 1.2 million averted Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) annually and significant economic strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa.

Conclusions:

  • KidsOR's model effectively integrates surgical care into health systems through local capacity building.
  • Sustainable investment in pediatric surgery yields substantial health and economic benefits.
  • Advocacy for a 21st-century aid model aligned with primary healthcare principles is crucial.
