Abstract

There is a growing consensus that surgical disease will eclipse infectious disease as a global healthcare issue in the next 10 years. However, anesthesia resources are extremely limited in low and middle-income countries. Funds for anesthesia are limited. Trained providers are scarce. Many providers migrate to highincome countries for economic and professional reasons. Lack of equipment, pharmaceuticals and infrastructure for the provision of safe anesthesia also limit anesthesia delivery. This chapter details each of these factors.
