Short-term surgical missions: joining hands with local providers to ensure sustainability.

K B Mitchell1, D Balumuka, V Kotecha, S A Said, A Chandika.   

Abstract

Short-term surgical missions may appear to fill a void in surgical capacity in the developing world, but may inadvertently also disrupt well-established local healthcare systems. The surgical providers of an East African hospital developed suggestions for improving these missions so that they can benefit visitors, local providers and patients alike.
