Surgery Across the Globe: Trends, Inequities, and the Human Stories in Between

For billions of people, this isn’t an abstract worry: it’s a daily reality. Surgery often feels like a hallmark of modern medicine—a place where science, skill, and human compassion converge. Yet, who gets that care and who doesn’t depends heavily on where you’re born, what you earn, and the strength of your country’s health system.
