Surgery/obstectrics has likely not gained a forefront on the global health scope until recently given the perceived perplexity and the nature of some the diseases such fields address.
1) Surgery is more than the patient, surgeon, and anesthesiologist. It invovles the system which encompasses such an infrastructure that allows the safe and available method for delivery of surgery. Access to blood, supplies/sterilization, water, oxygen are some necessities often needed to carry out the care of surgical patient, pre, during, and post surgery.
2) The person must be able to have access, not only geographically, but to trained and capable providers.
3) The catastrophic cost of surgery is perceived to be high, despite recent studies that some surgical interventions can be just as cost efffective as other public health/preventative endeavors.
4) Non-communicable diseases that are often treated with surgery, such as cancer, are often more complex to care for given the need for pathological/tissue diagnosis, imaging to find/understand extent of disease, and whether surgery is typically curative alone.
