Abstract
This issue of Impact Surgery has been timed for release alongside a Lancet and NIHR Unit on Global Surgery (University of Birmingham, UK) Side Event at the 7th World Health Assembly in Geneva (May 28th, 2024). The event aims to re-frame the relationship between surgeons and policymakers ahead of the 10 year anniversary of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (2015). The objectives are to prioritise research that can embed surgery into whole systems, rather than leave it as a standalone speciality that is seen as expensive.
