Abstract

Background: Global pediatric surgery has developed into a sophisticated system of teaching, training, sustaining, and serving, in order to equip low- and middle-income countries to offer the best possible care for their children.

Methods: The American Academy of Pediatrics section on surgery presented a multidisciplinary symposium highlighting and educating the members on current practice models and various opportunities for engagement, presented by experts devoted to these principles.

Results: Topics surrounding the history and development of global surgery, collaborative models for sustained service and education, faith-based surgical training opportunities, trainee engagement including barriers and challenges, and capacity building on a global scale were topic of discussion, and are highlighted in this manuscript.

Conclusion: Providing equitable pediatric surgical care worldwide remains a challenge that mandates attention and is essential to achieving health equity and improving the quality of life for children and their families worldwide.

期刊介绍： The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient.
