Surgical outreach and microvascular surgery in developing countries

Global Health collaborations between resource-poor and resource-rich health systems can have bidirectional benefits [1]. For the resource-rich participants, medical outreach can fulfill personal philanthropic goals and provide a service that may be otherwise unattainable by the recipients. It may also allow them to fulfill academic goals such as training domestic and international learners, developing relationships for research collaborations, and creating programs and infrastructure abroad. From an academic, service and infrastructure point of view, the resource-limited participants also benefit from these services.
