Abstract

An unacceptable inequity exists in the burden of pediatric surgical disease and access to surgical and anesthesia care between low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and high-income countries (HIC). Civil society organizations (CSOs) and the voluntary sector have been integral in addressing this imbalance. This article summarizes the roles that these organizations have played in improving pediatric surgical care globally and how their roles have evolved over the years. CSOs and voluntary organizations have historically provided operations on LMIC patients; however, the focus has shifted to building sustainable surgical systems by training a skilled workforce, improving local infrastructure, and contributing to research and advocacy efforts. See Table 1.

民间社会和志愿部门在儿童全球外科手术中的作用
在低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)和高收入国家(HIC)之间,儿科外科疾病负担和获得手术和麻醉护理方面存在着不可接受的不平等。民间社会组织和志愿部门在解决这种不平衡方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。本文总结了这些组织在改善全球儿科外科护理方面所发挥的作用,以及多年来他们的作用是如何演变的。民间社会组织和志愿组织历来为中低收入患者提供手术;然而,重点已转移到通过培训熟练劳动力、改善当地基础设施以及促进研究和宣传工作来建立可持续的手术系统。见表1。
