dc.description.abstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the globe at an unprecedented pace. The first COVID-19 case arrived in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) on February 28, 2020, and there are over 600 000 cases spread across the continent [1]. The World Health Organisation has predicted up to a quarter of a billion infections on the continent [2]. In preparation, SSA countries have sharply downscaled non-COVID-19 health services, including emergency and essential surgical health care (EESC). However, surgical conditions contribute up to a third of the global burden of disease [3].en_ZA
