| Summary: | The unequal distribution of neurosurgical resources and diseases in the world contributes
to inequality. Eight in 10 neurosurgical cases needing essential neurosurgical care are found in
Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs); however, LMICs lack the neurosurgical resources to
address these needs. Besides, where neurosurgical care is available, it is not financially accessible
to the majority of patients. Global Neurosurgery is a rapidly growing field that places a priority on
improving health outcomes and achieving health equity for all people affected by neurosurgical
conditions. To achieve safe, accessible, and affordable neurosurgical care for all, LMIC
neurosurgeons should participate in national and international global neurosurgical activities,
develop disruptive solutions to local problems and work with local stakeholders to address global
neurosurgery problems.
