Capacity Building

Anesthesia plays a critical role in global health care, not only in times of crisis, but in day-to-day events, such as childbirth. Things that we consider routine or trivial in the U.S., such as hernia repair, can be life-threatening in third world countries lacking adequate supplies or medical education. There is a great need for the skills possessed by the anesthesiologist abroad. In response, Duke University has taken several large steps to encourage its global presence in countries that need it the most.
