This article reviews three models of surgical aid: the vertical model (short-term surgical missions); the horizontal model (system-wide capacity building); and the diagonal model, which is a hybrid of the first two.

However, in LMICs, due to a multitude of factors including severe workforce shortages, this has not been the case. Collaborations play a vital role in increasing the capacity of pediatric anesthesiology educators and training the pediatric anesthesia workforce.
