This book is a combination of ideas and experiences from over 100
dedicated and brilliant neurosurgeons around the world. Their
common goal is to provide data for a deeper understanding of the
multi-faceted aspects of neurosurgery and, by doing so, to better
serve patients across the globe. Scientific curiosity, deep
dedication, incredible work ethics, entrepreneurship, and
creativity are the common traits among all neurosurgeons, and not
the exception. By allowing readers to see the field of neurosurgery
from the perspectives of surgeons spanning five continents, this
book serves to provide multiple, diverse viewpoints and to build a
foundation for future collaborations. The book's 24 chapters are
organized into 3 parts. Part I provides the reader with an overview
of the role of neurosurgery in worldwide health care, its evolution
over the past decades, the current state and future directions of
each neurosurgical subspecialty across the five continents. Over
the years, the overarching goal for neurosurgeons has been to
develop new, more effective and high-end solutions for complex
diseases and to provide access to neurosurgical services for all
patients. Part II discusses the differences and similarities of
neurosurgery education and training across the globe, providing a
snapshot of how new tools, technology, and paradigms reduce
inequality and increase access to neurosurgical education.
Educational accomplishments and challenges still present for the in
different regions of the world are reviewed. Part III focuses on
economic aspects influencing neurosurgery globally, including how
to make efficient decisions in the face of scarcity, yet demand.
The authors provide theories, models, and tools helpful to apply
when planning to allocate resources, not just financial, but also
human and intellectual. A deeper understanding of economics does
not necessarily provide the answer to the problem; rather it
provides the tools to find an answer, or, ideally, multiple
possible solutions. Neurosurgery and Global Health is the first
comprehensive guide to the role of neurosurgery in the global
health care sphere, providing an in-depth compendium about the
understanding of the neurosurgical role within global health, its
efforts in the education of tomorrow's workforce, and the economic
aspects driving the field.
