The overarching goal of ISTCs is to improve access to surgical care and to reduce the morbidity and mortality from surgical conditions in LMICs. Better coordination of efforts in specific ways can improve the number, scope, and sustainability of ISTCs in an attempt to achieve that goal. Future studies could analyze specific collaborations and assess their progress in regards to the implementation of the above recommendations and framework. They could also address the practicality of these interventions and the implications of their implementation. A similar study should be done to address the LMIC perspective of ISTCs and other sustainable global surgery efforts such that the results from both studies can lead to overall improvement and better coordination of ISTCs worldwide.
