The burden of surgical diseases is large and is increasing, and there are enormous gaps in access to surgery between high and
low income countries. Surgical services may be cost effective at the district level in LMICs, and providing access to essential
surgery should be viewed as “primary prevention” of death and disability. The integration of essential surgical services into
health systems, within the context of primary healthcare reforms, will surely improve population health.
