Sustainable Global Health Initiatives: Improving Access to Anesthesia Care in Cameroon (1 Class A CE)

About five billion people lack access to essential, safe, timely, and affordable surgical and anesthetic care, with the majority in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As a result, short-term experiences in global health (STEGH) have grown in popularity over the past two decades, raising questions about their outcomes, effectiveness, and associated ethical considerations. Many CRNAs from high-income countries, such as the United States, frequently travel to LMICs to provide anesthesia care. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the Brocher Declaration with an emphasis on local empowerment, collaboration, sustainability, and cultural sensitivity.
