The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, launched in 2014 and supported by 110 countries, is dedicated to closing the surgical care gap in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Its mission is to champion safe, affordable, and essential surgical and anesthesia services, ultimately reducing preventable deaths from treatable conditions and addressing critical global health disparities

​

Recognizing the need to improve surgical accessibility, particularly for underserved communities, Malaysia is actively advancing its Global Surgery initiative. This effort consolidates past and present surgical innovations, emphasizing the delivery of equitable care across all specialties, regardless of location. From routine procedures in rural clinics to complex surgeries in urban hospitals, the initiative prioritizes resource optimization and interagency collaboration. To achieve universal health coverage for surgery and anesthesia, Malaysia is integrating digital technologies, connecting remote areas, and fostering creative solutions. This strategic approach aims to establish a sustainable framework that ensures inclusive and relevant surgical care for all Malaysians, now and in the future.

Definition of Global Surgery

"An area of study, research, practice, and advocacy that seeks to improve health outcomes and achieve health equity for all people who need surgical and anesthesia care, with a special emphasis on underserved populations and populations in crisis. It uses collaborative, cross-sectoral, and transnational approaches and synthesizes population-based strategies with individual surgical and anesthesia care.”
