Until we act as a global community to address holistic health needs of populations, we will not reach SDGs. An essential and long understudied (and likely underestimated) is the provision of surgical care. But we can't improve what we havent' measured. I support this addition to the DHS.

The indicators proposed in this module have huge implications for categorizing the global burden of surgical disease that is unmet. I strongly support their inclusion.

As powerful as modeling studies are, the only way to progress past the realm of the theoretical, and anchor ourselves in the realm of the real is to collect robust data. When surgery playing a role in nearly 1/3rd of all human disease, I can think of no better area to invest in better data collection. This will help evaluate ongoing projects, as well as steer new ones. Thank you for expanding into this important sphere.

The unmet surgical need is an integral metric needed to design targeted and strategic interventions in LMICs. Without measuring the burden quantitatively, rather than through modeling, the underlying epidemiological burden cannot be accurately assessed.
