The mission of the Stanford Anesthesia Division of Global Health Equity is to promote access to safe, high-quality perioperative care regardless of geographic location or economic circumstance. We are committed to addressing disparities in perioperative outcomes. Our core values include engaging in longitudinal and bidirectional partnerships to create sustainable solutions through education and capacity building for local anesthesia providers, training future global health advocates to engage in ethical practices, fostering scholarship and innovation to overcome disparities in patient care, and advocating for policies that prioritize anesthesiology as an essential component of healthcare systems.

The Division of Global Health Equity envisions a world where all patients have access to safe perioperative care and healthcare disparities are eliminated. The vision includes universal access to safe, effective, and affordable anesthetic services; collaborations between organizations to empower local communities to deliver self-sufficient, sustainable, and culturally sensitive care; innovations to improve patient safety and pain management outcomes; and healthcare policies to prioritize access to perioperative care to decrease morbidity and mortality associated with trauma, surgical and obstetric care.
