Over time, these have evolved based on challenges, successes, and failures. Recently, quality improvement activities have been increasingly initiated with locally derived information. This has come from local databases in low and middle income country (LMIC) settings whose maintenance and analysis have been done through academic collaborations. For many sites in LMICs, there would be very little advance in paediatric surgery without collaborations. Despite this, problems still arise from collaborations due to failure to learn from past problems, lack of local championship, poor communication, and externally driven objectives.
