Beyond evacuation: building epidemic-resilient global surgery partnerships in an era of recurrent Ebola outbreaks
Year: 2026
Type: editorial
Abstract: Global surgery has emerged as a major domain within global health, with partnerships between high-income countries (HICs) and low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) supporting workforce development, research collaborations, educational exchanges and infrastructure investments. These efforts are central to addressing the estimated five billion people worldwide who lack access to safe, affordable and timely surgical care.1–3 However, the growth of global surgery has largely been built on architectures that assume mobility and stability. Recurrent Ebola outbreaks in Uganda and the DRC reveal how fragile these architectures can be when confronted with sustained crises.
