“…There are several examples of neurosurgery innovation from the global south such as low-cost exoscopes, telehealth protocols, and novel educational models. [35][36][37] Global neurosurgery research efforts should seek to increase research capacity in LMICs and promote LMIC investigators; a systematic analysis found that only 8.8% of randomized control trials in LMICs (excluding China) were led by LMIC authors. 38…”

The World Health Organization's Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP) on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Diseases 2022–2031 is a holistic, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral plan with a strong focus on equity and human rights. The IGAP was unanimously approved by all World Health Organization Member States at the 75th World Health Assembly in May 2022 and provides a framework for researchers and clinicians to study and address national and global inadequacies in the evaluation and management of people suffering from neurological disorders and their prevention. While IGAP has applied epilepsy as an entry point for other neurological disorders, advocacy by neurologists and neurosurgeons has broadened it to include diseases with a large and growing global health footprint such as stroke, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, and brain and spine cancers. The IGAP is important to neurosurgeons globally because it provides the first ever roadmap for comprehensively addressing unmet neurological and neurosurgical care in low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, it creates an opportunity for neurologists and neurosurgeons to scale up services for neurological diseases in tandem. As such, it provides a structure for the neurosurgery community to become involved in global health initiatives at all levels.
