The Lancet Global Health Journal
In 2013, a group of surgeons approached editors at The Lancet to discuss the neglected role of surgery in public health. The journal responded by opening a Commission on Global Surgery to develop and assemble the best evidence on the state of surgery worldwide, to study the economics of surgical and anesthesia care delivery, and to develop strategies for improving access.
