🚨 Tomorrow: The Closing Event of Global Surgery Week 2026 🚨

Systems Do Save Lives: What Comes Next?

Join us as we move beyond awareness and explore what the future of Emergency, Critical and Operative (ECO) care looks like in practice.

🌍 We’ll break down the emerging global agenda for integrated ECO care and discuss what it means for health systems, global surgery, and the next generation of advocates.

🔬 Learn how students, trainees, and early-career professionals can contribute through research, advocacy, campaigns, collaboratives, and leadership opportunities.

🎯 Test your knowledge in our interactive ECO Care Challenge.

🗣️ Share your perspectives during our community discussion and open reflections.

⚖️ Participate in a live debate on the future of ECO care and global surgery.

This is not just a webinar—it’s an opportunity to connect with a growing community interested in strengthening emergency, critical, and operative care worldwide.

Participants will also have the opportunity to express interest in receiving future updates, opportunities, initiatives, research collaborations, and engagement pathways related to ECO care and systems strengthening.

Let’s close Global Surgery Week by looking ahead—and discussing how each of us can help shape what comes next.

🌪️🧠 When disasters strike, the damage doesn’t end when the storm passes.

In this edition of our 2026 infographic series, we explore how climate-related disasters are increasing the burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI) while exposing deep inequities in access to neurosurgical, emergency, critical care, and rehabilitation services.

From hurricanes and earthquakes to floods, wildfires, and extreme heat, vulnerable populations face higher risks, greater barriers to care, and worse long-term outcomes. Refugees, displaced communities, children, and people living in resource-constrained settings are often left furthest behind.

But these outcomes are not inevitable.

Building equitable neurotrauma systems means investing in prevention, surveillance, emergency response, neurosurgical capacity, rehabilitation, mental health support, and disaster preparedness—before the next crisis arrives.

Because systems do save lives. 🌍
