Systematic review of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery indicators with quality assessment of modelled estimates
Reporting of LCoGS indicators remains sparse and uneven, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Without standardized, routine measurement and minimum quality standards for modelled estimates, progress towards 2030 cannot be credibly tracked. Integrating surgical metrics into national health information systems should be a policy priority.
