Surgical Access and Health Systems in Peru
- Speaker: Srinithya Gillipelli, M.D.
- Date: June 9, 2026
- Time: 10 – 11 a.m. CT
- Virtual event:
During her Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowship in Peru, Dr. Srinithya Gillipelli examined how community-based systems, financial burden, and health policy shape access to surgical care. She presents findings from projects on community health worker integration and the financial impact of cleft lip and palate surgery, showing how trust, indirect costs, workforce structures, and policy gaps influence whether patients can receive timely care. Drawing on research and field experiences across Peru, the talk explores how global health systems can better support patients long before they reach the operating room.
