Contributions
Mitra is the first-listed author of Surgathon, a review describing six surgery, innovation and ethics hackathons in India and Rwanda between 2016 and 2019. Local students and faculty worked across disciplines to identify surgical-care problems and propose solutions suited to available resources. The model emphasizes local priorities and expertise. The authors describe continued follow-up as necessary to evaluate implementation, so the events demonstrate a collaborative process rather than established improvements in patient outcomes.[3]
