Dr. Sabrina Asturias:
🔥LMIC frontliners are experts in deciding who lives & who doesn’t not because of an ethics course but due to the limited resources we have
🔥Patients surpass resources which limits our ability to give optimal care

We know #SOTACareForAll is a cost-effective initiative, but how do we prove that? How do we convince governments, the private sector and international organizations to invest in it? We measure it and we show the #data. #WHA76 @Atul_Gawande @USAID @USAIDGH

How does @JNJGlobalHealth measure #impact of their #globalsurgery projects? For pilots (current stage that they are at), it is all about the process metrics. #WHA76 @surgfoundation

How do we sell #globalsurgery projects? From a policy maker perspective, we must pair our efforts for surgical system strengthening with the promise that this is not mutually exclusive from health prevention initiatives! Surgery is just another piece of the puzzle 🧩. #WHA76

The private sector has not only provided funding, but also value and expertise to #globalhealth initiatives such as HIV, TB, etc. #GlobalSurgery should not be any different, it cannot be any different! @JNJGlobalHealth #WHA76 @surgfoundation

Time for the #hotseat 🔥. What do private sector investors need from the #globalsurgery community?
- Accountability
- Returns
- Capacity building for local communities
- 95-5% rule: stop spending most of the time on complications!!!!!!!!
