Flying endoscopists in the Arctic: initiatives for quality assurance of endoscopies in Greenland.

Background: Surgical coastal expeditions (SCEs) have been organized in Greenland for many years. They aim to provide small coastal hospitals with specialist services, such as endoscopies (SCEEs), by deploying specialist personnel, surgeons, and the necessary equipment to the hospital temporarily. The purpose of this program is to increase accessibility for patients, while simultaneously reducing the costs associated with patient transport to the central hospital.
