Check out this new article in Think Global Health from Sid Z?déy and Ayla Gerk! "Climate change adds to #surgical demands and surgical care contributes to #climatechange. First, the increased frequency of extreme events, such as #floods and #droughts, due to climate change increases the risk of damage to surgical care #infrastructure, especially in #vulnerable regions. Second, climate change increases #disease burden that can increase demand for #surgeries." https://lnkd.in/eX5M_Qqa

Featured G4 Alliance Member At Ohana One, we believe in the power of connection to transform surgical care. With 5 billion people worldwide lacking access to safe, timely, and affordable surgery, the need for sustainable, long-term solutions has never been greater. Our innovative approach combines mentorship and technology to equip surgeons in low-resource settings with the tools they need to save lives. Through our Smart Glasses program, experienced mentors provide real-time guidance to trainees thousands of miles away, ensuring that expertise is shared across borders. Additionally, our WiFi grant program helps hospitals improve connectivity, making it possible for these life-changing mentorships to remain uninterrupted—even in the most remote areas. This isn’t just about training; it’s about building a global surgical community where knowledge flows freely, and geography is no longer a barrier to learning. With partnerships in over 140 hospitals and 200+ surgeons trained, we are scaling impact every day, empowering medical professionals with the tools they need to deliver quality care where it’s needed most. By investing in technology, mentorship, and connectivity, we are creating a future where every patient has access to safe and effective surgery, no matter where they live. Join us in closing the surgical gap and making quality surgical care accessible for all. ?? #OhanaOne
