Importance in Public Health

General Surgery is foundational to healthcare, playing a crucial role in managing common, life-threatening, and emergency conditions. Surgical care helps reduce mortality from trauma, infections, cancers, and acute abdominal conditions. In many low- and middle-income countries, access to skilled general surgeons can significantly reduce preventable deaths. Furthermore, minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce hospital stays, speed recovery, and lower healthcare costs. By providing essential and timely interventions, the General Surgery Department improves patient survival, enhances quality of life, and contributes significantly to public health infrastructure.
