Five billion people worldwide lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. Global Surgery Amsterdam is a platform that aims to improve global surgical care by research and training projects.
By participating in this symposium, you will gain insight into several aspects of global surgery. We will discuss the potential roles for individuals and organizations to improve surgical care in low resource settings. During this symposium we focus on training, both on the job (e.g. surgical missions, trainings programs) and off the job (e.g.video assisted learning, simulations).
