Compared access to obstetric care at 2 hours (lancet indicator) & 30 minutes (@acog guideline). Need to improve access for rural populations and re-evaluate how lancet indicators are applied for emergency cesarean & surgical care. @HarvardPGSSC @CSPH_BWH @LinaRoaS @JohnMeara

While foreign surgical teams might provide valuable care in post-disaster settings, they don’t substitute for local #surgical capacity. Read our publication in @GlobalHealthBMJ on the opportunity to align national surgical and #disaster response planning! gh.bmj.com/content/bmjgh/4/3… – at Boston, MA

Presenting early results for the role of governance on health at @uniteforsight. I had great conversations with some great people. Stay tuned as I continue to work on this and start to explore how surgical systems are affected by these large driving forces!
