GLOBAL SURGERY AND RURAL SURGERY IN HIGH INCOME COUNTRIES

Department of Surgery, Okinawa Miyako Prefectural Hospital, Miyakojima, Japan

Shima Asano, Toshinobu Matsumura

Global Surgery could help rural Surgery tackle its problems from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Global Surgery could underpin rural Surgery and create sustainable Japanese Surgical systems in the future.
