The World Health Organization announced in September that it is expanding itsinitiative to train health care providers in low- and middle-income countries in essentialemergency, basic surgery and anesthesia skills.The WHO Global Initiative for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (GIEESC)

was established in 2005 to improve access to and quality of surgical care in developingcountries. This initiative is a partnership of organizations and individuals from aroundthe world committed to working together to promote and support the development ofappropriate surgical services in developing countries. The secondmeeting of the GIEESCwas held in Dar es Salaam in September of this year. HVO, a partner in this initiative, wasrepresented by several members including Drs. Richard Fisher and David Spiegel.According to Dr. Luc Noel,

who is in charge of clinical proce-dures at WHO, this initiative “sig-nifies a shift in the way we thinkabout surgery. Until recently, sur-gery was a neglected health issuein developing countries because itwas assumed to be too expensiveand sophisticated.” With little orno data to demonstrate that sur-gery could be a cost-effectiveintervention, few resources have been allocated in recent years to support the training ofhealth care professionals in basic surgical and anesthesia services in developing countries.Data do show, however, that death and permanent disability can be avoided through

simple surgical interventions following road traffic accidents, violence or war, abdominalemergencies, complications of labor and delivery, congenital abnormalities, fractures,burns or acute infections. According to the 2002WorldHealth Report, these conditionscause the loss of approximately 11% of the total lost years of healthy life. Injuries alonekill more than 5 million people every year.Dr. Meena Cherian, an anesthesiologist by training and formerly on the staff of the

Christian Medical College in Vellore, India has been spearheading WHO’s work in thisarea. Dr. Cherian is a tireless advocate for broadening the definition of primary healthcare to include basic and emergency surgery. “Why should a child die from appendicitis,or a mother and child succumb to obstructed labor, when simple surgical procedures cansave their lives?” asks Dr. Cherian.

Once again, I am astonished by how quicklythe year has gone by and by howmuchwe havedone. By year’s end, we will have sent morethan 470 volunteers overseas. We opened arecord setting number of new programs this

year – 11 including our first programs in the area of wound management.The American Society of Hematology became a sponsor mid-year and

plans are underway for site assessments in Cambodia, China andUganda.The American Society of Clinical Oncology also decided to become asponsor this fall and we look forward to working with them in the devel-opment of programs addressing cancer in developing countries.This fall, I was invited to a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland to

discuss developing a plan to integrate wound& lymphedema training andservices where appropriate in the management of morbidity associatedwith a variety of neglected tropical diseases. These diseases include, butare not limited to, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), leprosy, buruliulcer, and onchocerciasis.John Macdonald, MD, President of the Association for the

Advancement of Wound Care and the driving force behind the WorldWound Care Alliance and Mary Jo Geyer, PT, PhD, a faculty member atChatham University, were in attendance as were representatives fromHandicap International (who graciously hosted the meeting) and theWorld Health Organization. At the end of two days of discussion, therewas consensus that there was both a need and an opportunity for thisworking group to pursue the development of integrated guidelines, pro-grams and materials in wound and lymphedema management.Sadly, this year also saw the death of two long-time supporters and

members of HVO - Dr. Garry Hough and Dr. Lee Gordon. I met Dr.Hough in 1985 at my first American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’convention. He was very involved in Orthopaedics Overseas at that timeand was instrumental in the founding of HVO in 1986. I learned muchfrom him – he was a true friend and mentor. Dr. Gordon had beeninvolved with HVO since 1993 and was a catalyst in the development ofopportunities for hand surgeons here at HVO. Dr. Gordon served inUganda, Honduras and Peru. His energy and commitment were inspir-ing. They both will be missed.As the year draws to a close, I hope that you will keep HVO in mind as

you consider your giving plans. With 73 programs in 23 countries on 4continents, HVO and our volunteers are making significant contribu-tions to improving health for hundreds of thousands of current andfuture patients around the world. A gift to HVO is an investment in thefuture. Thank you for your support!

Planned gifts can come in many forms: it can be a bequest in one’s will for a specified dollar amount, a per-centage of one’s estate or a charitable remainder trust, just to name a few. Alternatively, you may name HVO asthe beneficiary of a life insurance policy. If you need advice or have questions about planned giving options, con-tact the HVO office and we will refer you to our financial planner at Smith Barney.

Several HVO members are involved in the Global Initiative serving as advisors and consultants. Dr. Richard Fisher served as one of the clinical editors of the WHO manual, Surgical Care at the DistrictHospital. Published in 2003, this manual is part of the WHO Integrated Management of Emergency andEssential Surgical Toolkit which is being used in a series of “training the trainers” workshops around the world as part of the GIEESC. Topics cover both the organization and management of the surgical service as well as the fundamentals of surgical practice, emergency obstetric care, resuscitation and anesthesia, trauma and orthopaedics. (This e-learning toolkit is available on the WHO web site -http://www.who.int/surgery/pub-lications/imeesc/en/index.html).Drs. David Spiegel and Richard

Gosselin have also shared their time and expertise. They recentlyauthored an article in theSeptember 22, 2007 issue of The Lancet, Surgical services in low-income and middle-incomecountries, in which they called for studies “to assess and enhancethe effect and cost-effectiveness of programmes designed to reduce the burden of surgically treatabledisorders.” With the dramatic increase in

trauma found in low- and middle-income countries as more and morecars, trucks and buses compete forspace with pedestrians and motorcy-cles, it is obvious that basic surgicalservices will have an important roleto play in reducing the burden ofdeath and disability. As Spiegel andGosselin state in The Lancet“Available epidemiological informa-tion and experiential evidence lendsupport to the conclusion that basicsurgical and anaesthetic servicesshould be integrated into primaryhealth-care packages.”
