Why is empowering local surgeons for total joint replacements programs not encouraged over short-term missions?

Empowering Local Surgeons Versus Mission-Based Joint Replacement Programs

Sustainability & Long-Term Impact – Training local surgeons ensures year-round care, builds infrastructure, and strengthens healthcare systems, unlike short-term mission trips.

Patient Outcomes – Local surgeons provide follow-up care, understand cultural and medical nuances, and offer consistent, high-quality treatment.

Cost-Effectiveness – Investing in local talent yields long-term benefits, reduces dependence on foreign aid, and ensures efficient resource use.

Ethical & Social Impact – Empowering local professionals fosters self-sufficiency, improves patient trust, and reduces healthcare gaps.

Mission Program Limitations – While missions provide temporary relief, they lack continuity, create dependency, and often fail to integrate with local healthcare systems.
