Pilot implementation projects in low- and middle-income countries to guide surgical quality improvement using best practice recommendations
Through international collaboration spearheaded by local stakeholders, we initiated baseline needs assessments in 3 countries to identify pillars on which to build-up implementation projects based on BPRs. These scalable pilot projects can be used as a framework to promote further optimization and standardization of safe and quality surgical care in LMICs.
