| الوصف: | Abstract Background In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as key priorities to improve the global health and international development agenda in an intersectoral manner, highlighting 17 SDGs. Six billion people lack access to safe, timely, and affordable cardiac surgical care due to capacity, geographic, and financial barriers. Nevertheless, cardiac surgery is largely disregarded on the global health agenda. In this review, we explore the intersection between cardiac surgery and the SDGs to delineate potential policy and advocacy avenues for the cardiothoracic surgical community. Main body A narrative review was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and WHO databases with variations of the search terms “cardiac surgery,” “cardiovascular diseases,” and keywords extracted from individual SDGs. All SDGs were manually reviewed to define intersectionality with global cardiac surgery. Out of 17 SDGs, 15 are relevant and require additional attention from the cardiovascular community. SDG3, “Good Health and Well-being,” is the most relevant, although the intersection between global cardiac surgery and other SDGs is apparent. A call for interdisciplinary collaboration through increased preventive mechanisms, rigorous, all-inclusive clinical trials, advocacy with relevant legislators, and mobilizing capacity building mechanisms are made. Conclusion Meeting the SDGs will require recognition of cardiovascular disease management, including cardiac surgical care. Cardiac surgeons are essential stakeholders of multidisciplinary collaborations working to improve access to safe, timely, and affordable cardiac surgery for all. Their role as advocates will be vital to establish local, national, regional, and international partnerships and to ensure progress towards SDG attainment. |
