Expertise Center
Global Surgery
Measuring and closing the gap in safe, timely, and affordable surgical care across Indonesia.
Overview
About the center.
The Global Surgery Center studies access to safe surgical, obstetric, and anaesthesia care across Indonesia, organised around the indicator frame of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery. Its work links the surgical workforce, timely access to a facility capable of the three bellwether procedures, surgical volume, perioperative mortality, and financial protection into a single sub-national evidence base. The aim is to give national and district planners a comparable, reproducible picture of where surgical systems fall short and which populations are most exposed.
Scope of Work
What this center covers.
- Surgical, obstetric, and anaesthesia (SAO) workforce density and distribution
- Two-hour timely access to bellwether-capable facilities
- Surgical volume per 100,000 population
- Perioperative mortality and district case-fatality
- Financial protection and catastrophic surgical expenditure gaps
