Babson-Lancet Case Studies. In 2015, Babson partnered with The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery and the Harvard Medical School Program for Global Surgery and Social Change (PGSSC) to create a case series designed to help transform Global Surgery into a field of study and practice. The cases explore health system challenges ranging from human resource development to electronic medical record systems and are freely available online to both students and educators.
In addition to our academic research and cases, we host convenings and conversations to glean insights from health sector leaders. Below are a sampling of events both directly hosted by the KMH Center and/or within the Babson community.
