Surgical Financing Framework and Highlights from the LAC Region

This live webinar will provide an overview of the financing framework developed by the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change in response to challenges in financing surgical care globally. The framework provides a scaffold for governments and organizations to identify and utilize different sources of financing—such as domestic, philanthropic, multilateral/bilaterial and innovative/blended finance models—to fund surgical care. The talk will also provide practical examples highlighting models in the LAC region, and conclude with an outlook on financing surgery in the region.
