Surgical Care in Developing Nations
LINCOLN, Nebraska — There are 5 billion people worldwide that do not have access to safe or affordable surgical care. The lack of surgical and anesthetic care is worst in low and middle-income countries. Around 90% of people do not have access to basic surgical care. The Borgen Project spoke with Dr. Edgar Rodas, MD and co-director of Virginia Commonwealth University’s program for global surgery. He has focused much of his career on improving access to surgical care in developing nations.
