The Role of Policy in Global Neurosurgery.

There have been tremendous strides over the past decade to institute strong policy as means to facilitate alignment on goals and strategies for global neurosurgical systems strengthening. In this chapter, we highlight key historic policy milestones in the global neurosurgery movement. We discuss the role of international organizations in neurosurgery, and the incorporation of neurosurgery into global health agendas. We then delve into specific examples of policies that have been established (such as comprehensive recommendations for neurotrauma, spina bifida, and hydrocephalus), highlight the role of international organizations in shaping neurosurgical policies, emphasize the importance of advocacy, and explore future directions.
