The Global Surgery Foundation joins the movement around the one-year anniversary of the launch of the WHO Global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer. We will “glow in teal” on 17 November and have prepared a small social media toolkit for anyone to use.

UNITAR, in partnership with the WHO, the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF), and the United Nations International Computing center developed an App that is intended to provide surgical teams with an electronic format of the checklist, to render the use of the checklist easier in all surgical settings.

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and the Harvard Medical School Program in Global Surgery and Social Change (PGSSC) partnered to organize a roundtable discussion on the occasion of the first official World Patient Safety Day on September 17th 2019.

On the occasion of the first World Patient Safety Day, UNITAR, in partnership with the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF), Harvard Medical School’s Programme in Global Surgery and Social Change (PGSSC), lifebox, and Ariadne Labs, launched a video to raise awareness on the WHO Safe Surgical Checklist.
