The Action Framework for Safe and Affordable Surgery in the Western Pacific Region (2021-2030) was adopted by Member States at the seventy-first session of the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific in 2020 in recognition that “there can no universal health coverage without access to safe and affordable surgery". The Framework outlines an approach based on four operational shifts to identify actions to deliver safe and affordable surgery in the short-, medium- and long-term. It was developed following consultations with technical experts, country teams that included ministries of health and academics, as well as representatives from professional associations and non-governmental organizations.
