In the past decade, interest in surgery as a means to improve public health and engage in international service has increased significantly. International organizations, academic institutions, professional associations, and humanitarian aid organizations recognize that disparate access to surgical care affects global health and they have recently joined forces to address access to surgical care. Current initiatives focus on quantitatively defining surgical disparity, prioritizing a surgical agenda, and developing economically sustainable models for health care assistance, training, and delivery. The Global Burden of Surgical Disease Working Group (GBoSD WG) strives to (1) quantitatively define global disparity in surgical care; (2) assess unmet surgical need; (3) identify priorities; (4) develop sustainable models for improved health care delivery; and (5) advocate for a surgical presence within the global public health agenda. This article formally introduces the GBoSD Working Group and papers presented during the 2009 Symposium at the American College of Surgeons in Chicago.
在过去的十年中，人们对通过手术改善公众健康和参与国际服务的兴趣显著增加。国际组织、学术机构、专业协会和人道主义援助组织认识到，获得外科护理的机会不均等影响全球健康，他们最近已联合起来解决获得外科护理的机会问题。目前的举措主要集中在定量定义外科差异、确定外科议程以及为医疗援助、培训和提供制定经济可持续的模式上。全球外科疾病负担工作组（GBoSD WG）努力：（1）定量定义全球外科护理方面的差异；（2）评估未满足的外科需求；（3）确定优先事项；（4）制定改善医疗服务提供的可持续模式；（5）倡导在全球公共卫生议程中加入外科。本文正式介绍了 GBoSD 工作组以及在芝加哥美国外科医师学会 2009 年专题讨论会上提交的论文。
