Publications by authors named "Sayed Shah Nur Hussein Shah"
Article Synopsis
- Global surgery is becoming an important area of study in global health, but it suffers from authorship inequities, particularly over-representation of authors from high-income countries (HICs) and under-representation of those from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
- A systematic analysis of global surgery publications from 2016 to 2020 revealed that the majority of authors were male (60%), primarily from HICs (51%), and held senior positions (55% were fully qualified clinicians or in leadership roles).
- The study highlights significant gender and seniority disparities, especially with LMIC authors having fewer female authors and that more efforts are needed to improve authorship opportunities for underrepresented groups in global surgery research.
Undergraduate surgical education is failing to prepare medical students to care for patients with surgical conditions, and has been significantly compromised by the COVID-19 pandemic. We performed a literature review and undertook semi-structured reflections on the current state of undergraduate surgical education across five countries: Egypt, Morocco, Somaliland, Kenya, and the UK. The main barriers to surgical education at medical school identified were (1) the lack of standardised surgical curricula with mandatory learning objectives and (2) the inadequacy of human resources for surgical education.
