Background: The global burden of disease treatable by surgical subspecialists remains an outstanding area of need, and yet little is known about the subspecialist workforce worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aims to quantify the subspecialty surgical workforce and number of subspecialty training programs in West Africa and to identify socioeconomic factors predicting the number of subspecialists in West African countries.
Methods: West African subspecialists and accredited fellowship training programs in 17 West African countries were quantified using membership data from the West African College of Surgeons and compared with publicly available workforce data from the United States, the United Kingdom, and East, Central, and Southern Africa.
