Founded in 2016, the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery is a global, independent, multidisciplinary network of healthcare professionals committed to improving the prevention and management of infections in surgical patients.
The Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery promotes scientific research and education and supports the dissemination of best practices for the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents.
One of the defining features of the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery is its multidisciplinary membership, which brings together epidemiologists, Infection Prevention and Control specialists, infectious disease physicians, internists, surgeons, intensivists, hospital pharmacists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, and nurses.
Its international network includes members from more than 100 countries.
This broad geographical representation is not merely a numerical achievement, but it reflects our commitment to bringing together healthcare systems with widely different levels of resources and development.
The impact of this global network is particularly evident in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The appropriate use of antimicrobial agents cannot be addressed solely at the local level, as resistant microorganisms know no borders. Only through a global strategy based on information sharing and collaboration among countries can this growing challenge be effectively addressed.
In this context, the network provides a truly inclusive platform where diverse perspectives and experiences can contribute to a shared body of knowledge.
The strength of the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery lies not only in its global reach, but also in its ability to translate this global perspective into concrete action at the local level.
Multidisciplinary collaboration, knowledge sharing, and local implementation are the three pillars underpinning the work of the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery.
