Global Surgery (GS) is a movement that advocates access of every individual to safe and affordable surgery despite geographic location or socioeconomic status. It has recently received increased attention within the global health arena, but many patients are still without access to care because of geographical, social and economic disparities. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of surgical services, GS requires that a worldwide network of healthy surgical systems be developed and sustained. Healthy surgical systems have many components, and this paper will briefly address 3 of those components: Improved access to care, safety and quality, and multidisciplinary strengthening.

Congenital absence of the appendix is an extremely rare condition. Often found incidentally during surgical procedures, it poses a surgical dilemma. Surgeons must be well versed in the congenital abnormalities and positional variations of the appendix and must know the steps required during surgery to diagnose this abnormality. In this case report, we discuss the first ever occurrence of congenital absence of appendix in association with malrotation.

Surgical conditions are responsible for up to 15% of total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost globally [1]. Worldwide estimates have found that approximately 4.8 billion people have no access to surgical care, and within South Asia, greater than 95% of the population do not have access to care for conditions that require surgical management [2]. Considering that greater than 50% of the population in the least developed regions worldwide is children, we can surmise that the surgical burden amongst children in Low and Low Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) is immense [3, 4]. Currently, a large disproportion exists between the wealthiest and poorest third of the population globally, with the wealthy receiving a major share of 73.6% of surgical procedures and the poor receiving only 3.5% [5]. Within poorer countries, surgical services are concentrated almost wholly in cities and reserved largely for those who can pay for them out of pocket [1].
Until recently, pediatric surgical care in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) was largely overlooked, with global health attention primarily addressing communicable diseases, and maternal and infant mortality [5]. However, improvement of surgical care delivery for children is now being prioritized as a fundamental component of health care in LMICs [6]. Improving surgical care delivery also has significant economic and welfare benefits for the population, as untreated surgical conditions increase medical costs, disability, and death [4]. Hence, the development of methods to enhance the quality of pediatric surgical care in low-resource regions can remarkably decrease childhood morbidity and mortality [7] and alleviate the associated financial and emotional stress.
Sindh is the second largest province by population (approximately six million people) and the third largest province in Pakistan [22]. TMK is one of the 29 districts in Sindh with an area of 1,814 square kilometers (km2), an overall population of 677,228, and a population density of 373 people/km2, Sindhi as the most commonly spoken language [23]. TMK district was chosen as the site for our project due to our established office in the district, the availability of skilled manpower and other resources to conduct this large-scale survey. TMK is also a representative of any rural district in Sindh.
The SOSAS survey consists of two portions. The first section collects demographic details, including the age and sex of household members, and number of deaths in the household within the past year. Household members are defined as people living in the same physical structure. The second half of the survey gathers information from caregivers on both current and previous surgical conditions of their children, which is categorized into six distinct anatomical regions: face, head, and neck; chest and breast; abdomen; groin, genitals, and buttocks; back; arms, hands, legs, and feet. The caregivers answered questions based on their recall and their perception of a surgical condition. Additional questions cover the type of injury/accident, timing of the condition, and health-seeking behavior, which includes the type of health care sought, type of health care received, and reasons if care was not accessed. The survey questions were translated into Sindhi, the primary language of TMK by coordination of experts in both English and Sindhi language and was pilot tested in the field.
