A comprehensive planning methodology for ministries of health to increase access to surgical care. Now available in Spanish! ¡Ahora disponible en español!
The National Surgical Obstetric Anesthesia Planning (NSOAP) process offers ministries of health a pathway to integrate surgical planning into their overall national health strategies. The NSOAP Manual was produced by world leaders in surgery, obstetrics and anesthesia. It is a comprehensive planning methodology for governments to use to increase capacity in safe surgical, obstetrical and anesthesia care.
The Manual was officially launched by UNITAR, Harvard PGSSC, and The Global Surgery Foundation on 28 September 2020 as part of a special Online Educational Series. The recordings of all 7 events can be watched here, and the Manual can be downloaded here.
