The consensus paper, Towards a Strategy for Improving Surgical Healthcare Worldwide, outlines a renewed global surgery strategy to expand surgical healthcare in LMICs, given recent trends, research and empiricism in surgical healthcare and global health systems.
The paper was developed under the guidance of Dr Geoff Ibbotson, Executive Director of the Global Surgery Foundation and Senior Health Advisor at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). The ideas, insights and frameworks in the report are drawn from several discussions convened for the Geneva Health Forum 2020 with distinguished clinicians and leaders in surgery, global health and health systems, combined with earlier research conducted by the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change at Harvard Medical School. The report was published jointly by the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change and Health Systems Innovation Lab at Harvard University and the Global Surgery Foundation.

The Health Systems Innovation Lab (HSIL) at Harvard University is a global research and training lab that specializes in creating high value health systems through targeted innovations. Led by Prof. Rifat Atun, the Lab uses its research, education, innovation and translation activities to work with students, governments, private sector, multilateral entities, and civil society to promote policy and practice, and accelerate the diffusion of health system innovations. The Lab conducts its work within two inter-related streams–Global Health Systems and Innovation—and is driven by a Harvard-based team of interdisciplinary clinicians and academic leaders, and an international group of disciplinary experts.
