Event Recordings: Special Educational Online Series on the NSOAP Manual & Process
Join us live as we explore the NSOAP Process in detail!
7 events, from September 2020 to January 2021
Following both the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery and the World Health Assembly Resolution 68.15 in 2015, world leaders in surgery, obstetrics and anesthesia came together to produce a comprehensive planning methodology for governments to use to increase capacity in safe surgical, obstetrical and anesthesia care. The National Surgical Obstetric Anesthesia Planning (NSOAP) process offers ministries of health a pathway to integrate surgical planning into their overall national health strategies using a systematic and logical approach.
With more than 50 contributors from various sectors of global health, the NSOAP Manual provides a framework for the development of plans and policies to improve the provision of safe surgery, obstetric and anesthesia care at a national level.
The NSOAP Manual was published as a collaborative initiative between the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the Harvard Medical School Program in Global Surgery and Social Change, and the Global Surgery Foundation. It was officially launched on 28 September 2020 as part of a special Online Educational Series with the generous support of Johnson & Johnson.
The series concluded after 7 events on 13 January 2020. The recordings for all events are available for free below. We also invite you to follow the Global Surgery Foundation on Social Media - let’s keep the conversation on #NSOAP and #GlobalSurgery going!
