A national roadmap for improving children surgical care: an experience from Tanzania
Our findings propose a roadmap to practically achieve access to children surgery, complementing existing NSOAPs. It highlights feasibility of the approach in developing context relevant interventions that could guide integration of surgery in existing national plans. Developing a functional surgical system in LMICs should be pragmatic to improve overall quality of children surgical care despite limited resources.
