By 2030, an additional 1.27 million surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and obstetricians (SAO) are needed by 2030 to reach the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery's target of 20 SAO providers per 100,000 population. Inclusion of future generations of health workers early in global surgery discussions and interventions is critical to scale-up access to surgical and anaesthesia care and ensure lasting change.
InciSioN, the International Student Surgical Network, is an innovative nonprofit organization by and for students, residents, and young doctors around the world. Through advocacy efforts, capacity building, educational events, international research collaboratives, and unique virtual internships, InciSioN contributes to the development of future generations of global SAO across the globe.
Since the formal establishment of the organization in 2016, InciSioN has grown to unite over 5000 members in over 75 countries and 31 formally established National Working Groups across all world regions. Through a system of virtual internships, members of the network have contributed to the World Development Indicators surgical data collection 2016 for the World Bank. InciSioN has created the standardized capacity-building curriculum Training Global Surgery Advocates, and established the annual Global Surgery Day on May, 25th as a global awareness day on surgical care around the world.
The rapid global expansion of the organization and its increasingly loud voice in the worldwide global surgery discourse highlight the importance of including the future of the OR in global health discussions and shifting existing short-term paradigms to more sustainable, long-term thinking.
到 2030 年，全球范围内还需要增加 127 万名外科医生、麻醉师和妇产科医生，才能达到柳叶刀全球外科学委员会的目标，即每 10 万人中有 20 名外科医生、麻醉师和妇产科医生。将未来几代卫生工作者纳入全球外科学讨论和干预措施的早期阶段，对于扩大获得外科和麻醉护理的机会以及确保持久变革至关重要。
InciSioN（国际学生外科网络）是一个由全球各地的学生、住院医师和年轻医生组成的创新非营利组织。通过倡导努力、能力建设、教育活动、国际研究合作以及独特的虚拟实习，InciSioN 为全球各地未来几代全球外科医生的发展做出了贡献。
自该组织于 2016 年正式成立以来，InciSioN 已发展壮大，在全球 75 个国家拥有超过 5000 名成员，并在全球所有地区建立了 31 个正式的国家工作组。通过虚拟实习系统，该网络的成员为世界银行 2016 年世界发展指标外科数据收集做出了贡献。InciSioN 创建了标准化的能力建设课程《培训全球外科倡导者》，并将每年 5 月 25 日定为全球外科日，作为全球关注世界各地外科护理的意识日。
该组织在全球范围内的快速扩张及其在全球外科学话语中日益响亮的声音突显了将手术室的未来纳入全球卫生讨论并将现有短期模式转变为更可持续、长期思维的重要性。
