A prospective observational study of postoperative follow-ups and outcomes at a nonprofit, internationally supported pediatric surgery center in Guatemala.

Background: Global surgical access is unequally distributed, with the greatest surgical burden in low- and middle-income countries, where surgical care is often supplemented by nongovernmental organizations. Quality data from organizations providing this care are rarely collected or reported. The Moore Pediatric Surgery Center in Guatemala City, Guatemala, is unique in that it offers a permanently staffed, freestanding pediatric surgical center.

Factors associated with the use of mosquito bed nets: results from two cross-sectional household surveys in Zambézia Province, Mozambique.
