This study aims analyze worldwide provider-perceived barriers the surgical repair CLP countries.From 2011 2014, Smile Train distributed a multiple-choice, voluntary survey healthcare providers identify areas need care worldwide.

Background The WHO estimates a global shortage of 2.8 million physicians, with severe deficiencies especially in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). unequitable distribution physicians worldwide is further exacerbated by the migration from LMICs to high-income (HIC). This large-scale has numerous economic consequences which include increased mortality associated inadequate physician supply LMICs. Methods We estimate cost for due excess migration. To do so, we use concept value...
Background Brazil boasts a health scheme that aspires to provide universal coverage, but its surgical system has rarely been analysed. In an effort strengthen systems worldwide, the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery proposed collection of 6 standardised indicators: 2-hour access surgery, workforce density, volume, perioperative mortality rate (POMR) and protection against impoverishing catastrophic expenditure. This study aims characterise Brazilian with these newly devised indicators...

We present prospective data on retropharyngeal infections who were according clinical practice guideline emphasizes reliance computed tomography prompt when pus felt present. Study Design...
Abstract Providing surgical repair for congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate (CLP) can be challenging in low- middle-income countries. One nonprofit organization seeks to address this need through a partnership model. This model provides long-term aid on multiple levels: surgeon healthcare provider education, community outreach, funding. The authors examined the effectiveness of providing CLP care increasing capacity over time. maintains data each partner procedure collected...
