Potential learners looking to access online content are faced with internet connectivity issues, difficulties in finding and accessing resources, resources that are inappropriate for their context and training, and opaque content quality control processes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The United Nations Global Surgery Learning Hub (SURGhub) was launched on June 28, 2023 to address this need. SURGhub curates high\u2010quality surgical, anesthetic, obstetric, and perioperative nursing e\u2010learning courses and makes them freely available on one integrated online platform, optimized for low\u2010bandwidth settings. It is a product of the global surgery community, powered by over 200 volunteers and anchored in the United Nations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In little over 18\u00a0months since its launch, SURGhub has enrolled 11,451 registered learners from 190 countries. Fifty\u2010five percent of users are based in low\u2010 or lower\u2010middle income countries. Learners can access 76 interactive e\u2010learning courses, provided by 20 different institutions.

To address the unmet need, SURGhub must expand its educational offering, including through the addition of new content types, personalized learning, and increased provision of content in languages other than English. The translation of SURGhub educational content into improvements in clinical practice and patient outcomes must be measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wjs.12661","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,20]],"date-time":"2025-06-20T23:59:51Z","timestamp":1750463991000},"page":"1700-1707","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Advancing Open\u2010Access Education for the Surgical Team Worldwide: The Development and Rollout of the United Nations Global Surgery Learning Hub (SURGhub)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4163-8572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"O'Flynn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Global Surgery Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Musliu Adetola","family":"Tolani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Ahmadu Bello University  Zaria Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Joos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery University of British Columbia  Vancouver Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean","family":"O'Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tallaght University Hospital  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhananjaya","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery NSCB Government Medical College Jabalpur  Jabalpur India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5723-8226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sherry M.","family":"Wren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Stanford University School of Medicine  Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ainhoa Costas","family":"Chavarri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Rwanda Military Referral and Teaching Hospital  Kigali Rwanda"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pauline B.","family":"Wake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine and Health Sciences University of Papua New Guinea  Boroko Papua New Guinea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea S.","family":"Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Tenwek Hospital  Bomet Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jackie","family":"Rowles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nurse Anesthesia Texas Christian University  Fort Worth Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8390-8684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lubna","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Global Surgery Baylor College of Medicine  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara M.","family":"Mohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cork University Maternity Hospital  Cork Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabina M.","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Surgery University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences  Spingdale Arkansas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adolfo","family":"Leyva\u2010Alvizo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Tecnologico de Monterrey  Monterrey Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard O.
