Abstract
This supplement to Surgery provides a fascinating insight for the uninitiated reader into the mechanisms by which our surgery colleagues, dedicated to improving the global burden of surgical disease, approach the topic of trauma-related injury in low- and middle-income countries. In this context, trauma finally is being recognized by the World Health Organization as a major health problem in the developing world. But to understand how and where to focus the limited resources, accurate, efficient, and available global data of need are required, both across and within various countries because the need varies so much—all of whom have different challenges. This series of articles investigates the infrastructure of trauma care in low- and middle-income countries as a basis to plan resource allocation/delivery to improve management of this aspect of the global burden of surgical disease. We think you will find these articles to be of interest in our global approach to surgery.
