Webinars

This live webinar will provide an overview of the financing framework developed by the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change in response to challenges in financing surgical care globally. The framework provides a scaffold for governments and organizations to identify and utilize different sources of financing—such as domestic, philanthropic, multilateral/bilaterial and innovative/blended finance models—to fund surgical care. The talk will also provide practical examples highlighting models in the LAC region, and conclude with an outlook on financing surgery in the region.

As artificial intelligence becomes more visible in medicine, surgeons must decide not only what these tools can do, but how they should be used in practice, training, research, and publication. This live webinar will offer a practical perspective from surgical education and research in East Africa, focusing on where AI may add genuine value, where caution is needed, and how surgeons can engage these technologies responsibly.

This live webinar will describe the formation, current and future of cooperative engagement for global surgical care. The focus will be on a multidisciplinary and multinational approach to bring access to quality, timely Emergency, Critical and Operative (ECO) care to everyone, everywhere.
