Many health conditions cannot be effectively treated with medication alone and therefore require surgical care. These conditions, known as surgical diseases, affect different organs and body systems and contribute significantly to the global disease burden. Despite their impact, billions of people still lack access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical care.
Examples of surgical conditions include appendicitis, hernia, gallstones, traumatic injuries, and some cancers.

Early recognition and prompt medical attention improve outcomes. Surgical conditions account for nearly 30% of the global disease burden, yet billions still lack access to safe and affordable surgical services, especially in low- and middle-income countries (Meara et al., 2015).
Safe and timely surgery is essential to quality healthcare. Strengthening health systems and expanding surgical access are key to preventing avoidable deaths and disabilities worldwide.
