The Disease Control Priorities Network at the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health has released its first volume of the Disease Control Priorities, 3rd edition (DCP3) series, focused on essential surgery. Volume editor and UCSF Professor, Haile T. Debas, says that it identifies and defines 44 procedures that should be available in low- and middle-income countries based on their ability to address population needs, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility.
