Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose a critical threat in low- and middle-income countries, affecting up to 25% of surgical patients. Limited resources and rising multidrug-resistant pathogens worsen the challenge. Tailored interventions, including active surveillance, revised surgical practices, and enhanced patient education, offer promising solutions. By emphasizing infection prevention and fostering collaboration among healthcare providers and policymakers, LMICs can enhance surgical outcomes and reduce SSI prevalence, addressing a pressing need in global health.
