Bridging the Gap in Africa’s Surgical Care Crisis

COSECSA trained surgeons prepare young boy for surgical procedure in Mangochi, southern Malawi. Credit:: College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA).

By Eric O’Flynn
DUBLIN, Ireland, Dec 16 2024 – For decades, preventable deaths, lifelong disabilities, and disfigurements presented devastating consequences for over 90% of the population in Africa, where surgical care remains largely out of reach.

Simple, affordable procedures like skin grafts for burns, bone fracture repair, and hernia procedures routinely go untreated, causing needless suffering and often driving families into abject poverty due to loss of livelihood.

Consider a young man in his 20s in rural Zambia, electrocuted by a low-hanging power cable while riding on the back of a lorry, whose exposed skull and severely damaged scalp were repaired during a 16-hour procedure, allowing him to make a full recovery; a 19-year-old woman with a deep-seated tumor that caused her to lose her sight and whose surgery was made possible by a resourceful clinician using magnifying glasses in the absence of a microscope, removing the tumor in full and allowing her to regain her vision; a 32-year-old mother of two in rural Zambia, run over by a truck and left with devastating injuries who underwent eight months of intensive treatment and rehabilitation putting her on a path to recovery.

Cases like these are the everyday reality faced by surgeons Dr. Peter Mushenya from Zambia and Dr. Nathalie Umugwaneza from Rwanda, both recent graduates of the College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA), which celebrates its 25th anniversary this December.

Since its founding, COSECSA has grown from graduating just six surgeons in 2010 to an impressive 152 in 2023. This growth reflects the organization’s commitment to equipping surgeons with the skills to meet the urgent needs of communities across the region. Over the course of their careers, COSECSA-trained surgeons are projected to perform nearly 9.5 million surgeries, a stunning demonstration of the impact of successful surgical training programmes.

Qualified just a year, Dr Mushenya is a specialist neurosurgeon working at Maxcare hospital in Lusaka, where patients often travel over 1000 kilometres to receive care from the only neurosurgical team in the country.

On average, he and his team perform 70 surgeries a month. He describes challenges such as a shortage of surgical supplies, long waiting lists and needless complications arising from untreated simple infections that worsen due to a delay in care. Common, he explains, are untreated coughs in children that escalate into meningitis and later abnormal swelling of the head due to excess fluid on the brain.

“Many patients are two years down the line without a CT scan and come to us in critical condition in need of urgent surgical attention. In many cases, we often have to use our own money to buy drills, sutures, shunts – not just the expensive equipment like microscopes, but even the little things are not there. Instead, we rely on well-wishers. A lot of the conditions we see are simple to treat, yet we don’t get the support we need,” says Dr Mushenya.

It is an all too familiar scene in Rwanda, according to Dr. Umugwaneza, who counts road traffic accidents and falls among her most common surgeries, “Patients often wait up to six months for surgeries that are not considered acute, resulting in improperly consolidated fractures that cause life-long disability.” She emphasizes the need to strengthen the entire surgical system, from training surgeons to strengthening entire surgical teams across a range of disciplines from nurses to anesthetists.

The situation experienced in Zambia and Rwanda matches the broader challenges faced in the region. In many countries of the Global South, the surgeon-to-patient ratio is alarmingly low, with just one trained surgeon for every 2.5 million people. This neglect persists even though surgically treatable conditions cause more deaths and disabilities than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.

Despite a 2015 World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution urging the inclusion of global surgery within primary healthcare as a critical component of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), surgical care remains strikingly absent from policymakers’ agendas.

This lack of priority has contributed to minimal progress in strengthening emergency and essential surgical and anesthesia services. As a result, 16 million people worldwide die annually from conditions that could be treated surgically.

In response to the urgent demand for surgical care, COSECSA, supported by Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland has trained 910 surgeons through its intensive five-year programme, achieving this at an astonishingly low cost of just $600 per surgeon per year. Prof. Juan Carlos Puyana, Chair of Global Surgery at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, has witnessed firsthand the impact of the programme and is a passionate advocate for further investment in global surgery.

An experienced surgeon himself, he worked for decades in low resource settings, and emphasises the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the initiative, underlining the importance of changing perceptions about surgical care: “There’s a misconception that surgical care is prohibitively expensive, but simple procedures don’t require large investments in infrastructure and expensive equipment.

Our approach is grounded in evidence that safe surgery is not an expense but a critical investment in health infrastructure and in promoting economic development.”

Dr Puyana’s views are echoed in the findings of the 2015 Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, which underscored that billions of people lack access to safe surgery. The report highlighted that investing in surgical services is not only affordable but essential to saving lives and securing safe health systems.

Closing the gap to ensure that surgical services are more readily accessible in lower- and middle-income countries, will not only save lives but also restore patients’ ability to work and lead productive lives, generating economic benefits that far outweigh their costs. The programme stands as a powerful testament to how targeted, cost-effective interventions can make a lasting impact.

In recent years, it has broadened its scope beyond surgical training. Recognizing that effective surgical care relies on multidisciplinary teams, it now supports the development of colleges in anesthesiology, obstetrics and gynecology, and nursing across the region.

This expansion builds on a proven model for rapidly scaling up training in the sub-Saharan context that involves a blend of virtual classrooms, mentorship, and a support network for isolated health workers. In some countries like Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi, particularly in rural hospitals, non-specialist and non-physician surgeons also play a key role in delivering essential procedures.

Further, at a time when trained health workers from the Global South are increasingly migrating to the Global North in search of better opportunities, the programme has proven to be a game-changer in stemming the exodus of health workers in the region.

A 2024 study reveals a significant shift, with an impressive 98.5% retention rate of specialist surgeons within Africa, addressing the chronic shortage of skilled health professionals. This shift represents not only a major achievement for the programme, but also an important step toward the sustainability of local healthcare systems.

Addressing the crisis in global surgery demands a fundamental shift in global health priorities: surgery is not a luxury intervention, but an essential component of any functioning health system. This requires policymakers to prioritize investments in training, infrastructure, and system-wide support, ensuring that surgical care is within reach for the millions who still don’t have access.

As the network of skilled practitioners expands, communities are themselves laying the groundwork for resilient health systems. In doing so, surgeons like Dr Mushenya and Dr Umugwaneza are safeguarding future generations from the preventable suffering that has long plagued the world’s poorest regions.

Quantexa é destacada como líder de categoria no relatório de soluções de monitoramento de transações AML da Chartis de 2024

LONDRES, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Quantexa, fornecedora líder de soluções de Inteligência de Decisão para os setores público e privado, anunciou hoje o reconhecimento em Chartis’ RiskTech Quadrant Update para soluções de monitoramento de transações contra lavagem de dinheiro (AML). O relatório destaca os recursos “melhores da categoria” da Quantexa em áreas críticas para ajudar as instituições financeiras (IFs) a combater o crime financeiro e cumprir o escrutínio regulatório.

As instituições financeiras estão sujeitas a regulamentações nacionais (como o USA PATRIOT Act) e supranacionais (como as Diretivas de Prevenção à Lavagem de Dinheiro da UE) para prevenir a lavagem de dinheiro. A ONU estima que os volumes anuais de lavagem variam de dois a cinco por cento do PIB. A conformidade e a prevenção podem ser desafiadores devido às frequentes mudanças nessas regulamentações, esquemas de lavagem de dinheiro cada vez mais sofisticados e desafios internos tecnológicos e de dados.

O conjunto de soluções AML da Quantexa permite que as instituições financeiras enfrentem esses desafios utilizando IA e ML em seus recursos de resolução de entidades e gráficos de conhecimento, para integrar dados dispersos, descobrir riscos ocultos e realizar monitoramento e detecção proativos. Entre outras categorias, suas soluções são utilizadas em investigações orientadas por inteligência, AML em bancos correspondentes e AML em comércio e varejo.

A Chartis destaca que a IA generativa é uma característica cada vez mais importante nas soluções de monitoramento de transações AML. Em junho, a Quantexa anunciou seu conjunto de tecnologia de IA generativa, Q Assist, que permite que unidades de investigação financeira (UIFs) utilizem seus dados como parte de seu processo investigativo para identificar e compreender potenciais riscos.

“A Quantexa segue sendo destacada como líder de categoria em Monitoramento de Transações AML, ao fortalecer seu conhecimento em inteligência de decisão e GenAI, desenvolvendo uma abordagem inovadora para automatizar investigações complexas, enfrentando de forma eficaz um dos maiores desafios da área“, disse Nick Vitchev, diretor de pesquisa da Chartis. “Seus indicadores de desempenho de tipologia são uma abordagem inovadora e altamente prática para um ecossistema cada vez mais complexo e centrado em tipologias, enquanto seu recurso de integrar vastos e diversos conjuntos de dados e sinais na pilha de monitoramento de transações contribui para uma maior eficácia e eficiência.”

Alexon Bell, diretor de produtos (FinCrime) da Quantexa, disse: “Ser nomeado líder da categoria pela Chartis, ao lado de proeminentes participantes do setor, ressalta o crescente reconhecimento de nossa abordagem inovadora para monitoramento contextual de AML e avanços em IA generativa. Nossas classificações de alto nível em áreas essenciais, como integração de dados e sistemas, além de modelagem e tipologia de risco, reforçam nosso compromisso em fornecer às instituições financeiras ferramentas inovadoras para combater o crime financeiro. Este reconhecimento confirma tanto nosso conhecimento tecnológico quanto nosso compromisso em entender e enfrentar os desafios em constante evolução que nossos clientes enfrentam na luta contra a lavagem de dinheiro.”

A Chartis destacou a Quantexa como Líder de Categoria em cinco categorias em 2024. Estas categorias incluem o RiskTech Quadrant® para Soluções de Fraude Empresarial, o relatório Atualização de Mercado e Panorama de Fornecedores de Soluções de Fraude Empresarial e de Pagamentos de 2024 e como um dos principais fornecedores no ranking e relatório de pesquisa estreante Chartis RiskTechAI 50 de 2024. A Quantexa também foi indicada como Líder de Categoria no RiskTech Quadrant® para Soluções de KYC e classificada entre os 20 principais no Relatório RiskTech100® de 2025, destacando sua presença no mercado, inovação e liderança em risco e conformidade.

Quantexa est reconnu comme un Leader de sa catégorie dans le rapport 2024 de Chartis sur les solutions de surveillance des transactions qui assurent la conformité AML

LONDRES, 16 déc. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quantexa, l’un des principaux fournisseurs de solutions d’intelligence décisionnelle pour les secteurs public et privé, a annoncé aujourd’hui avoir été reconnu dans le rapport RiskTech Quadrant Update de Chartis pour ses solutions de surveillance des transactions qui assurent la conformité en matière de lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent (AML). Le rapport souligne les capacités « de premier ordre » de Quantexa dans des domaines critiques qui permettent d’aider les institutions financières à lutter contre la criminalité financière et à se conformer aux contrôles réglementaires.

Afin de prévenir le blanchiment d’argent, les institutions financières sont tenues de respecter les réglementations nationales (comme le PATRIOT ACT des États–Unis) et supranationales (comme les directives de l’UE sur la lutte contre le blanchiment de capitaux). Selon une estimation des Nations Unies, les volumes annuels de blanchiment de capitaux représentent deux à cinq pour cent du PIB. La conformité et la prévention peuvent s’avérer difficiles à assurer du fait des changements fréquemment apportés à ces réglementations, mais aussi en raison des schémas de blanchiment d’argent de plus en plus sophistiqués et des défis internes en matière de technologie et de données.

La suite de solutions AML de Quantexa permet aux institutions financières de relever ces défis grâce à l’intégration de l’IA et de l’apprentissage automatique dans ses capacités de résolution d’entités et de graphes de connaissances qui permettent de relier des données disparates, de découvrir des risques cachés et de mettre en œuvre une surveillance et une détection proactives. Entre autres catégories, ses solutions sont utilisées dans les enquêtes fondées sur le renseignement, ainsi que pour la lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent dans le secteur bancaire et les secteurs du commerce et de la vente au détail.

Chartis souligne que l’IA générative est une fonctionnalité qui prend une importance croissante dans les solutions de surveillance des transactions qui assurent la conformité AML. En juin, Quantexa a annoncé la sortie de sa suite technologique d’IA générative, Q Assist, qui permet aux unités d’enquête financière (FIU) d’exploiter les données dont elles disposent dans le cadre de leurs processus d’investigation afin d’identifier et de comprendre les risques potentiels.

« En renforçant ses capacités en matière d’intelligence décisionnelle et d’IA générative, Quantexa développe une approche permettant l’automatisation des enquêtes complexes qui touche au cœur de l’un des plus grands défis dans ce domaine. À ce titre, Quantexa continue de se positionner comme un Leader de sa catégorie pour la surveillance des transactions visant à assurer la conformité AML », a déclaré Nick Vitchev, directeur de la recherche chez Chartis. « Ses fiches d’évaluation typologiques constituent une approche innovante et très pratique vis–à–vis d’un écosystème à la complexité croissante et centré sur la typologie, tandis que sa capacité à intégrer de vastes ensembles de données et des signaux diversifiés dans le processus de surveillance des transactions contribue à renforcer l’efficacité et l’efficience. »

Alexon Bell, directeur des produits (FinCrime) chez Quantexa, a déclaré : « Le fait d’être nommé Leader de sa catégorie par Chartis, aux côtés d’acteurs de premier plan du secteur, souligne la reconnaissance croissante de notre approche innovante en matière de surveillance contextuelle de la lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent et d’intégration des avancées dans le domaine de l’IA générative. Les notes de premier ordre que nous avons obtenues dans des domaines clés tels que l’intégration des données et des systèmes, ainsi que la modélisation et la typologie des risques, soulignent notre engagement à doter les institutions financières d’outils de pointe afin de lutter contre la criminalité financière. Cette reconnaissance confirme à la fois notre expertise technologique et notre engagement à comprendre et à relever les défis en constante évolution auxquels nos clients sont confrontés dans le cadre de la lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent. »

En 2024, Chartis a reconnu Quantexa comme un Leader de sa catégorie dans cinq catégories. Il s’agit notamment du RiskTech Quadrant® pour les Solutions contre la fraude affectant les entreprises, des Solutions contre la fraude affectant les entreprises et les paiements, du 2024 Market Update and Vendor Landscape Report, et de sa reconnaissance comme l’un des meilleurs fournisseurs dans le premier classement et rapport de recherche RiskTechAI 50 2024 de Chartis. Quantexa a également été nommé Leader de sa catégorie dans le RiskTech Quadrant® pour les solutions KYC et classé parmi les 20 premiers du RiskTech100® 2025 Report, soulignant ainsi sa présence sur le marché, sa force en matière d’innovation ainsi que son leadership en matière de risque et de conformité.

Quantexa Recognized as Category Leader in Chartis’ 2024 AML Transaction Monitoring Solutions Report

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quantexa, a leading provider of Decision Intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced recognition in Chartis’ RiskTech Quadrant Update for anti–money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring solutions. The report highlights Quantexa’s “best–in–class” capabilities across critical areas to help financial institutions (FIs) fight financial crime and comply with regulatory scrutiny.

Financial institutions are bound by national (such as the USA PARIOT ACT) and supranational regulations (such as the EU’s Anti–Money Laundering Directives) to prevent money laundering. The UN estimates that annual laundering volumes range from two to five percent of GDP. Compliance and prevention can be challenging due to the frequent changes to these regulations, increasingly sophisticated money laundering schemes and internal technological and data challenges.

Quantexa’s AML Solution Suite allows financial institutions to deal with these challenges by using AI and ML in its entity resolution and knowledge graph capabilities to join disparate data, uncover hidden risk and execute proactive monitoring and detection. Among other categories, its solutions are used across intelligence–led investigations, corresponding banking AML and trade and retail AML.

Chartis highlights that Generative AI is an increasingly important feature of AML transaction monitoring solutions. In June, Quantexa announced its Generative AI technology Suite, Q Assist, which allows financial investigation units (FIUs) to leverage their data as part of their investigation process to identify and understand potential risk.

“Quantexa continues to place as a Category Leader for AML Transaction Monitoring by building on its strength in decision intelligence and GenAI to develop an approach to automating complex investigations that cuts to the heart of one of the biggest challenges in the field,” said Nick Vitchev, Research Director at Chartis. “Its typology scorecards are a novel and highly practical approach to an increasingly complex and typology–centric ecosystem, while its ability to integrate vast, diverse datasets and signals into the transaction monitoring stack helps to deliver effectiveness and efficiency.”

Alexon Bell, Chief Product Officer (FinCrime) at Quantexa, said, “Being named a Category Leader by Chartis, alongside prominent industry players, underscores the growing recognition of our innovative approach to Contextual AML monitoring and advancements in generative AI. Our top–tier ratings in key areas like data and system integration, as well as modeling and risk typology, highlight our dedication to equipping financial institutions with cutting–edge tools to combat financial crime. This acknowledgment affirms both our technological expertise and our commitment to understanding and addressing the evolving challenges our clients face in the fight against money laundering.”

Chartis has recognized Quantexa as a Category Leader in five categories in 2024. These include the RiskTech Quadrant® for Enterprise Fraud Solutions, the Enterprise and Payment Fraud Solutions, 2024 Market Update and Vendor Landscape report and as one of the top vendors in the inaugural Chartis RiskTechAI 50 2024 ranking and research report. Quantexa was also named a Category Leader in the RiskTech Quadrant® for KYC Solutions and ranked among the top 20 in the RiskTech100® 2025 Report, highlighting its market presence, innovation, and leadership in risk and compliance.

Quantexa wird im Bericht zu Transaktionsüberwachungslösungen zur Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche von Charteris für 2024 als Branchenführer ausgezeichnet

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quantexa, ein führender Anbieter von Decision–Intelligence–Lösungen für den öffentlichen und privaten Sektor, hat heute bekanntgegeben, dass seine Lösungen für die Transaktionsüberwachung zur Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche (AML) im RiskTech Quadrant–Update von Chartis anerkannt worden sind. Der Bericht hebt die „Best–in–Class“–Fähigkeiten von Quantexa in kritischen Bereichen hervor, um Finanzinstitute bei der Bekämpfung von Finanzkriminalität und der Einhaltung behördlicher Auflagen zu unterstützen.

Finanzinstitute sind durch nationale (z. B. den USA Patriot Act) und supranationale Vorschriften (z. B. die EU–Richtlinien zur Bekämpfung der Geldwäsche) verpflichtet, Geldwäsche zu verhindern. Die UN schätzt, dass das jährliche Geldwäschevolumen zwischen 2 und 5 Prozent des BIP liegt. Die Einhaltung von Vorschriften und Verhinderung von Geldwäsche kann aufgrund der häufigen Änderungen dieser Vorschriften, immer ausgefeilterer Geldwäschesysteme und interner technologischer und datenbezogener Herausforderungen eine Herausforderung darstellen.

Die AML Solution Suite von Quantexa ermöglicht es Finanzinstituten, diese Herausforderungen zu bewältigen, indem sie KI und ML in ihren Funktionen zur Entitätsauflösung und Wissensgraphen nutzt, um unterschiedliche Daten zusammenzuführen, versteckte Risiken aufzudecken und eine proaktive Überwachung und Erkennung durchzuführen. Die Lösungen des Unternehmens werden unter anderem in nachrichtendienstlichen Ermittlungen, im Bereich der Geldwäschebekämpfung im Bankwesen und im Bereich der Geldwäschebekämpfung im Handel und Einzelhandel eingesetzt.

Chartis hebt hervor, dass generative KI ein immer wichtigeres Merkmal von Lösungen für die Transaktionsüberwachung zur Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche ist. Im Juni kündigte Quantexa seine auf generativer KI basierende Technologiesuite Q Assist an, die es Finanzermittlungsstellen ermöglicht, ihre Daten im Rahmen ihres Ermittlungsprozesses zu nutzen, um potenzielle Risiken zu identifizieren und zu verstehen.

„Quantexa ist weiterhin führend in der Kategorie der Transaktionsüberwachung zur Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche, indem es auf seiner Stärke in der Entscheidungsintelligenz und generativer KI aufbaut, um einen Ansatz zur Automatisierung komplexer Untersuchungen zu entwickeln, der eine der größten Herausforderungen in diesem Bereich auf den Punkt bringt“, so Nick Vitchev, Research Director bei Chartis. „Die Typologie–Scorecards sind ein neuartiger und äußerst praktischer Ansatz für ein zunehmend komplexes und typologiezentriertes Ökosystem, während die Fähigkeit, umfangreiche, vielfältige Datensätze und Signale in den Transaktionsüberwachungsstapel zu integrieren, zur Effektivität und Effizienz beiträgt.“

Alexon Bell, Chief Product Officer (FinCrime) bei Quantexa, dazu: „Die Ernennung zum Kategorieführer durch Chartis, zusammen mit prominenten Akteuren der Branche, unterstreicht die wachsende Anerkennung unseres innovativen Ansatzes zur kontextbezogenen AML–Überwachung und die Fortschritte im Bereich der generativen KI. Unsere erstklassigen Bewertungen in Schlüsselbereichen wie Daten– und Systemintegration sowie Modellierung und Risikotypologie unterstreichen unser Engagement, Finanzinstitute mit modernsten Instrumenten zur Bekämpfung der Finanzkriminalität auszustatten. Diese Anerkennung bestätigt sowohl unsere technologische Expertise als auch unser Engagement, die sich wandelnden Herausforderungen zu verstehen und anzugehen, mit denen unsere Kunden im Kampf gegen die Geldwäsche konfrontiert sind.“

Chartis hat Quantexa im Jahr 2024 in fünf Kategorien als Kategorieführer ausgezeichnet. Dazu gehören der RiskTech Quadrant® für Unternehmensbetrugslösungen, die Unternehmens– und Zahlungsbetrugslösungen, den Bericht „2024 Market Update and Vendor Landscape“ und als einer der Top–Anbieter im ersten Chartis  RiskTechAI  50 2024 Ranking– und Forschungsbericht. Quantexa wurde außerdem als Kategorieführer im RiskTech Quadrant® für KYC–Lösungen genannt und rangiert unter den Top 20 im RiskTech100® 2025 Report, was die Marktpräsenz, Innovation und Führungsposition des Unternehmens im Bereich Risiko und Compliance unterstreicht.
