Article Synopsis
- - The PIPES survey tool is designed to assess surgical capacity in low- and middle-income countries but may not accurately capture the full scope of the surgical workforce or existing improvisations in care delivery.
- - A study compared data from the PIPES tool with three other methods—time and motion studies, focus group discussions, and hospital records—to identify these gaps in information.
- - While the PIPES tool is useful, modifications are necessary to address its limitations, ensuring that both researcher interests and local stakeholder perspectives are considered in enhancing the tool's effectiveness.
Background: Surgical care delivery is poorly understood in resource-limited settings. To effectively move toward universal health coverage, there is a critical need to understand surgical care delivery in developing countries. This study aims to identify the barriers and facilitators of surgical care delivery at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda.
