Abstract
Carefully planned, long-term partnerships can build surgical capacity in developing countries, which can save lives and alleviate suffering. Good partnerships are built around the goal of educating local staff. They involve consistent engagement with the same local hosts over time. Teaching is directed more broadly than just to surgeons; anesthesia, nursing, sterile processing, and biomedical engineering are also important partners.
