Areas of action

The challenge

Lack of standardised quality management in surgical processes for cancer care, due to insufficient data on morbidity and mortality linked to surgical complications, compounded by gaps in patient follow-up and referral systems, preventing feedback on surgical outcomes.

Enhanced training for surgical specialists is required, through the implementation of a competency and simulation-based training center

The goal

Improve the quality of surgical cancer treatment in Arequipa by designing a development plan for the establishment and strengthening of a Simulation and Experimental Oncological Surgery Center for specialists.

Develop treatment quality indicators to support follow-up and foster a culture of continuous improvement, thereby enhancing overall healthcare quality

The How

Collaborate with surgical oncology services and the project team to develop and apply surgical performance indicators, with guidance from international experts and consideration of local data collection capacity.

Carry out a coordinated effort to prepare a development plan for a Simulation and Experimental Surgery Center, aimed at strengthening surgical oncology capacities for the most prevalent neoplasms in Arequipa and the southern Macro Region, Peru.
