About NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery

Bringing together surgeons, researchers and policy makers to set the local research agenda according to patient need in LMICs and ensuring all patients have the opportunity to take part in our research. The Unit is built upon equitable partnerships between all members. Through an evolving shared leadership with the Hub Directors, structured transfer of leadership to the Hub Directors provides sustainability for the Hubs, the network and thereby the Unit. Our network consists of seven surgical research Hubs in Benin, Ghana, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa with an extensive network of urban and rural ‘Spoke’ hospitals. This network prioritised the surgical topics that needed research and has performed multiple surgical studies. Through bespoke training we are building capacity across this network to undertake surgical and other clinical research.
