Approximately 28% of the global burden of disease is surgical (1). There is an estimated deficit of 90,909 neurosurgeons globally, whomust care for an additional 14 million neurosurgical patients annually (2). In a study published by Alkire et al. on global access tosurgical care, it was revealed that approximately two-thirds of the world's population, comprising 4.8 billion people, do not have accessto timely, affordable, or safe surgical care. The study also concluded that 99.3% of Lower-Income Countries (LICs) and 96.7% of LowerMiddle-Income Countries (LMICs) populations do not have access to safe surgery (3). Historically, global health policies focused onspecific issues like access to healthcare and outcomes of infectious disease treatment and vaccinations. In January 2014, the LancetCommission on Global Surgery (LCoGS), headed by healthcare leaders from 111 countries, gathered in Boston to research and pro posestrategies to improve surgery access globally. One of the committee's goals was to bring surgeons from different socio-economic strataunder one roof to facilitate collaboration and fruitful exchange of ideas. The committee also motivated the higher -income countries ofNorth America to collaborate and shrink the existing hiatus in surgical access present in lower and middle-income countries (4). Sincethen, significant progress has been achieved in this regard under the leadership of North American academic institutes, neurosurgicalsocieties, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and even individual surgeons (1,5)
