As engineers we tend to gravitate towards "how can we make surgery better?", but should this be the only question guiding our research? Can technology be used to better deliver surgery to *all* who need it, whenever, wherever? 🌎 Why does it matter? 5 out of the 8 billion people worldwide lack access to adequate surgical care! Thank you Kee B. Park for an eye-opening / inspiring keynote💜! And thank you Barnabas Alayande, Jenny Dankelman, Pete Culmer for a very interesting discussion!
