Lancet Commission on Global Surgery - "Universal access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed"In 2013, a group of surgeons approached editors at The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery to discuss the neglected role of surgery in public health. The journal responded by opening a Commission on Global Surgery to develop and assemble the best evidence on the state of surgery worldwide, to study the economics of surgical and anesthesia care delivery, and to develop strategies for improving access. The Commission consists of three co-chairs and 22 commissioners, with collaborators in over 110 countries.
