Two years ago, The Lancet commissioned a group of experts in a variety of disciplines—chaired by Dr. John G. Meara, Harvard Medical School, Mr. Andy Leather, Kings College London, and Dr. Lars Hagander, Lund University—to assess the current state of global surgery and to develop recommendations on how to improve the state of global surgical care delivery around the world.

The initial findings from the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery have been published. The main report, along with the first set of accompanying research papers, abstracts, and teaching cases are now available. Please visit the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery website for details and links.

Congratulations to the commissioners, affiliated researchers, and all those who supported this work.
