We see the best of what safe surgery can do to change a child\u2019s life, and we can picture all too clearly what will happen if surgery isn\u2019t available\u2014or if it goes wrong.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is the reality for surgeons across low-resource setting countries. Rwanda, for example, has fewer than 50 surgeons for a country of 11 million people, and there are not enough hands or hours in the day to even begin to meet the surgical need they\u2019re faced with. What\u2019s more there isn\u2019t nearly enough access to training or appropriate equipment either, meaning that when operations do take place there\u2019s a high risk\u2014100 to 1000 times higher than in the UK\u2014that the patient will die during the procedure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifebox.org\/\">Lifebox Foundation<\/a> is a charity that works to make surgery safer. They provide essential equipment and training to operating theatres in countries where it\u2019s most needed, specifically a pulse oximeter intelligently designed for low-resource settings and training in the World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also the very good reason\u2014aside from the classic Edmund Hillary line, &#8220;because it\u2019s there&#8221; and the obvious fact that cycling is ace\u2014why we took the train up to Glasgow a few weeks ago and set off on this epic cycle route home.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to raise awareness of the surgical safety crisis worldwide, and just as importantly, enough money to put a pulse oximeter into every operating theatre of a country that needed it.<\/p>\n<p>The route took us via the children\u2019s hospitals where we work: Glasgow-Manchester-Sheffield-Birmingham-Bristol-London, 660 miles over seven days (arriving back in time for our subspecialty annual meeting).\u00a0 Colleagues came out to cheer us on, and donated so generously that we\u2019ve raised more than \u00a315,000 so far\u2014particular thanks to The Portland Hospital for Women and Children in London.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK we would never consider operating without a pulse oximeter. Providing the equipment, training, and emphasising the basic tenets of safe surgery such as the Surgical Safety Checklist will have a great impact. As surgeons, it\u2019s unbearable to think of all the patients we know we could save, who are dying for lack of access, equipment, and training. We can\u2019t support our colleagues on the frontline every day, but we can send them the equipment and training that will make their jobs that bit easier, and keep their patients safer.<\/p>\n<p>We have chosen Malawi as the country we wanted to raise money for as a number of us have visited or worked there. If the donations keep mounting up we will be able to put a Lifebox pulse oximeter in every operating room in Malawi. Not bad for a week\u2019s cycling\u2014and well worth the pouring rain, the pain, and the punctures!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Competing interests:<\/strong> I declare that that I have read and understood the BMJ Group policy on declaration of interests and I have no relevant interests to declare.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Dave Albert<\/strong> trained in\u00a0paediatric ENT in London and the USA before becoming the UK&#8217;s first purely paediatric ENT surgeon. David first started at Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1984 as a trainee and in 1989 as a consultant. He has travelled widely and worked abroad.\u00a0 He came up with the idea of cycling to the subspeciality meeting in Greenwich via most of the country&#8217;s paediatric hospitals. He hoped to raise enough money to put a pulse oximeter into every operating theatre in Malawi.
