Integrating political prioritisation into national surgical planning: a scoping review of surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia care in Cameroon.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical diseases contribute substantially to death and disability in Cameroon. Strategic planning for surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia (SOA) care in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) requires consideration of the policy environment in addition to the issue severity. We aimed at the current landscape of SOA care in Cameroon, incorporating a framework for political prioritisation.

Methods

Abstracts and full texts were screened for discussion of SOA policy context, care and delivery conditions, and issue characteristics. Data extraction and analysis were performed usin
