Abstract
Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030, as enshrined in the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals, promises access to quality essential healthcare, medicines,
vaccines, and financial safeguards for all. [1] however access to life-saving surgeries remains
elusive for a staggering 5 billion people, with low and middle income countries ( LMICs)
bearing the brunt of this crisis. In these regions, a mere 10% have adequate access to safe,
timely, and affordable surgical care.[2]
