Pleased to meet with Khairy Jamaluddin 🇲🇾🌺, #Malaysia Health Minister, at #WHA75 . I thanked him for 🇲🇾's support for sustainable financing of World Health Organization (WHO); for leadership on behavioural insights for health work; efforts to control tobacco use in the country; & to advance safe surgery. #HealthForAll

Increasing access to quality, safe and affordable surgery remains a priority. The development of sustainable solutions to improve outcomes is a key approach. #GlobalSurgeryDay #WHA75 #suvaguidelines

Evidence from LMICs shows that SUVA guidelines & interventions reduced surgical mortality & infection, reduced trauma mortality plus maternal & perinatal mortality. These recommendations are relatively low-cost & high yield & can be turned to best practices.
