急诊和基本手术（EES）在全球卫生议程中的优先级仍然较低，尽管越来越多的证据表明，EES是一种具有成本效益的公共卫生干预措施，并且有可能预防相当数量的死亡和残疾。经济和社会事务部的地位低下，在某种程度上应被视为一个政治问题，并应接受政治分析。这种类型的政治经济学检查已用于其他重要的全球健康问题，但尚未应用于EES。通过解决政治问题和前景，EES可以更好地定位于国际议程，从而改善向穷人提供的外科护理。
Emergency and essential surgery (EES) remains a low priority on global health agendas even though a growing body of evidence demonstrates that EES is a cost-effective public health intervention and that it holds the potential to prevent a sizable number of deaths and disabilities. The inferior status of EES should be considered, in part, a political problem and subject to political analysis. This type of political economy examination has been used for other important global health issues but has not been applied to EES. By addressing political concerns and prospects, EES can be better positioned on international agendas, thus improving surgical care delivered to the poor.
