Interpersonal and systemic factors in initiating, developing and maintaining collaborations between European neurosurgical departments and institutions in low-resources settings: A qualitative study
Findings highlight recurring interpersonal and systemic dynamics central to successful long-term partnerships. This study provides context-specific, real-world insights into their practical execution. Future efforts should focus on developing targeted recommendations to strengthen global neurosurgical collaborations and address inequities in access to care.
