The role of surgery in achieving universal access to Health Care has been highlighted in 2015 through a number of key activities. In April 2015 the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (LCoGS) identified Health System Strengthening as a key priority area. The development of the District Hospital is crucial to increased delivery of surgical services. The challenge is to identify the basket of care package and key surgical competencies necessary as determined by the burden of disease. Without adequate skills development, having functional district hospitals, we will not meet the needs determined by the burden of disease. To meet the need for surgery requires a significant increase in surgical care providers.
As surgical providers and from the perspective of development and socio-economic growth in line with the African Union Agenda 2063, as well as 2024 STISA, Lancet commission key messages on global surgery, and WHO resolution, the Pan African Association of Surgeons (PAAS) would like to contribute to the implementation of Global Surgery in Africa. PAAS therefore proposes to organize an international conference on global Surgery, to focus on specific objectives as follows:
1. Define principal actions for “Global Surgery” implementation in Africa
2. Mobilize financial support fund
3. Raise awareness among Governments and Policy Makers in Health in African countries for the establishment of a national policy for global surgery.
This is aimed at planning, organizing, and managing the PAAS International Conference 2017 on Global Surgery Implementation in Africa.
