Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive overview of various topics related to injury and trauma care, with a focus on initiatives in countries like Ethiopia and Tanzania. It discusses the digitization of WHO injury surveillance guidelines, pediatric neurotrauma surgery, prehospital trauma care improvements, and innovative approaches like telementoring in surgery. The research underscores the challenges and opportunities in global surgical training, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and collaboration to enhance surgical capacity in resource-limited environments. The findings highlight the critical role of surgical providers in humanitarian efforts and the ongoing need for innovative solutions to address complex patient needs in low- and middle-income countries.
