Call for abstract

More than 5 billion people in the world do not have full access to safe, affordable and timely surgical care, especially in lower-middle-income countries (Lancet Global Health, 2015). No global funding organization focuses specifically on the provision of surgical care, and none of the major donors are willing to support and acknowledge surgery as an imperative part of global public health. Unfortunately, there are not any studies on surgery access conducted in Vietnam.
Besides, there are more than 14 million people in the world suffer annually from cancer and more than 8 million deaths of this disease. It is predicted that there will be approximately 30 million new cancer patients which cause 20 million deaths in which two third are in developing countries. In Vietnam, there are around 170000 to 180000 new cases of cancer each year leading to 80000 to 90000 deaths
