20 July 2011 -- Surgery is often still “the neglected stepchild of global health”. The WHO Bulletin explains that this is due to some common misperceptions that are not grounded in reality. For example, many people believe that surgical care only addresses a limited amount of the global burden of disease and thus is of low priority. In reality, injuries, which are often treated through surgical care, account for nearly one out of every ten deaths globally.
