Addressing Neurosurgery Research and Data Access Gaps in War-Inflicted Nations

Abstract

For decades, neurosurgical research in war-torn countries has been subpar, owing to a plethora of factors that limit data accessibility and quality research. These countries are frequently affected by ongoing conflicts, which divert resources away from effective health care and research outcomes. Furthermore, they lack adequate institutes of higher education, where clinical and research excellence paves the epicenter of research institutions, trained personnel, and infrastructure, making high-quality research difficult.
