Perioperative Provider Safety During COVID-19 : A Global Survey
A global survey of surgical providers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) – which covered 230 hospitals and 539 perioperative providers across 63 countries – found a severe shortage in resources, training, and protocols to reduce the risk of infection from COVID-19.The findings of the survey have been summarized in the "Perioperative COVID-19 Report : Resources & Safety" alongside recommendations to improve the safety of our surgical colleagues working on the frontlines of the pandemic.
Thank you to Smile Train and Jhpiego for their collaboration with Lifebox on this work.
