Abstract

Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to examine current practices in surgical equipment donation to lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a particular focus on otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS). This is designed as a pragmatic review to guide potential donor communities to implement sustainable OHNS equipment donation in LMICs.

Recent findings: LMICs are increasingly reliant on international equipment donation. In terms of OHNS services, global OHNS have compiled a list of essential equipment for baseline care in LMICs. Especially in terms of audiology, OHNS equipment donation has the potential to have a significant impact on populational health. However, there is a scarcity of research on donated equipment in OHNS. A suggested blueprint for sustainable equipment donation follows these steps: establish partnerships, assess needs, source equipment, and follow-up and evaluate the intervention. Key further considerations for sustainability include remanufacturing and repurposing methods, maintenance, and contextual understanding.

Summary: Sustainable equipment donation in otolaryngology is an important part of global health equity and healthcare delivery in low-resource settings. Despite the good intentions behind medical equipment donations, there are many challenges; donors and recipients should engage in collaborative, needs-based planning processes that result in long-term sustainability, local capacity building, and community participation.

低资源环境下耳鼻喉科的可持续设备捐赠。
综述目的:本综述旨在研究向中低收入国家(LMICs)捐赠手术设备的现行做法,尤其侧重于耳鼻咽喉头颈外科(OHNS)。本文旨在通过务实的综述,指导潜在的捐赠团体在中低收入国家实施可持续的耳鼻咽喉头颈外科设备捐赠:最近的研究结果:低收入国家越来越依赖于国际设备捐赠。就听力保健服务而言,全球听力保健服务机构已编制了一份清单,列出了低收入国家基线护理所需的基本设备。特别是在听力方面,OHNS 设备捐赠有可能对人口健康产生重大影响。然而,有关 OHNS 捐赠设备的研究却很少。建议的可持续设备捐赠蓝图遵循以下步骤:建立伙伴关系、评估需求、寻找设备、跟进和评估干预措施。摘要:耳鼻喉科的可持续设备捐赠是全球卫生公平和在低资源环境中提供医疗服务的重要组成部分。尽管医疗设备捐赠的初衷是好的,但仍存在许多挑战;捐赠者和受赠者应共同参与以需求为基础的规划过程,从而实现长期可持续性、当地能力建设和社区参与。
