Overarching Objective: To foster a global understanding of the challenges and innovative solutions in providing effective orthopedic care within resource-limited settings, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and access to care worldwide. Knowledge & Awareness: Highlight the unique challenges: Clearly articulate the specific obstacles faced in delivering orthopedic care in low-resource countries, including limitations in infrastructure, technology, trained personnel, and access to essential resources. Showcase innovative solutions: Present and disseminate successful, context-appropriate strategies and adaptations developed and implemented in low-resource settings to overcome these challenges. Increase global awareness: Raise awareness among the international orthopedic community, policymakers, and stakeholders about the critical needs and the potential for impactful interventions in these regions. Share diverse perspectives: Feature the experiences and insights of orthopedic professionals, researchers, and healthcare workers directly involved in providing care in various low-resource countries.

Collaboration & Networking: Facilitate knowledge exchange: Create a platform for the sharing of best practices, research findings, and practical experiences between professionals working in diverse settings. Promote international collaboration: Encourage networking and the formation of partnerships between individuals and organizations from high-resource and low-resource countries to support and advance orthopedic care. Identify opportunities for support: Highlight areas where the global orthopedic community can provide meaningful support, including training, resource mobilization, research collaborations, and policy advocacy. Action & Impact: Inspire action and advocacy: Motivate attendees and webpage visitors to engage in initiatives that aim to improve orthopedic care in low-resource settings. Identify research priorities: Discuss and identify key areas for future research that are relevant and impactful for improving orthopedic outcomes in these contexts. Inform policy and practice: Provide evidence-based insights that can inform the development of more effective policies and sustainable practices for orthopedic care in low-resource countries. Empower local practitioners: Recognize and empower the expertise and ingenuity of local orthopedic professionals working on the ground. Additional Challenges: A significant obstacle to advancing in this field is the difficulty in publishing relevant research. High-impact journals often impose considerably high publication fees, which represent a prohibitively expensive barrier for researchers in resource-limited settings. This situation hinders the dissemination of crucial knowledge and the visibility of innovative solutions developed in these contexts.
