The need for surgical care in Haiti remains vast despite the enormous relief efforts after the earthquake in 2010. As the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, Haiti lacks the necessary infrastructure to provide surgical care to its inhabitants. In light of this, a multidisciplinary approach led by Partners In Health and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is improving the access to surgical care and offering treatment of a broad spectrum of pathology. This article discusses how postearthquake Haiti partnerships involving academic institutions can alleviate the surgical burden of disease and, in the process, serve as a profound educational experience for the academic community. The lessons learned from Haiti prove applicable in other resource-constrained settings and invaluable for the next generation of surgeons.
尽管在2010年地震后进行了大量的救援工作，但海地对外科护理的需求仍然巨大。作为西半球最贫穷的国家，海地缺乏为其居民提供外科护理的必要基础设施。鉴于此，由健康伙伴组织和达特茅斯-希区柯克医疗中心牵头的多学科方法正在改善外科护理的可及性，并提供广泛病理疾病的治疗。本文讨论了海地地震后涉及学术机构的伙伴关系如何减轻疾病的外科负担，并在此过程中为学术界提供深刻的教育体验。从海地吸取的经验教训证明适用于其他资源有限的环境，对下一代外科医生来说也非常宝贵。
