Emergency and essential surgery (EES) remains a low priority on global health agendas even though a growing body of evidence demonstrates that EES is a cost-effective public health intervention and that it holds the potential to prevent a sizable number of deaths and disabilities. The inferior status of EES should be considered, in part, a political problem and subject to political analysis. This type of political economy examination has been used for other important global health issues but has not been applied to EES. By addressing political concerns and prospects, EES can be better positioned on international agendas, thus improving surgical care delivered to the poor.
紧急和基本外科手术（EES）仍然是全球卫生议程上的一个低优先级事项，尽管越来越多的证据表明 EES 是一种具有成本效益的公共卫生干预措施，并且有可能预防大量死亡和残疾。EES 的较低地位部分应被视为一个政治问题，并接受政治分析。这种政治经济学检查已用于其他重要的全球卫生问题，但尚未应用于 EES。通过解决政治关切和前景，EES 可以在国际议程上更好地定位，从而改善向贫困人口提供的外科护理。
