OUR ROADMAP TO 2029
Strategic Plan 2025–2029
Published 12 April 2025
The InciSioN Strategic Plan 2025–2029 outlines our vision for a future where youth are recognized as essential leaders in shaping surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia (SOTA) systems. Grounded in equity, resilience, and inclusion, this plan presents a bold roadmap to mobilize grassroots action, amplify youth voices in global health governance, and build transdisciplinary solutions for stronger surgical systems worldwide.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2025–2029
OUR PURPOSE
Mission
To unite, develop, and mentor the future leaders of surgical systems — across surgery, obstetrics, trauma, anesthesia, nursing, innovation, and beyond — to advance safe, timely, and affordable care for all.
OUR FUTURE
Vision
A world where everyone, everywhere has access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia care as an integral component of resilient and equitable health systems.
WHERE WE FOCUS
Priority Areas
- Advocate for the integration of SOTA care into national and global health strategies, not as an isolated clinical issue, but as a system-level priority — essential to achieving Universal Health Coverage by 2030.
- Leverage InciSioN’s unique grassroots power — through NWGs — to develop community-centered initiatives and localized impact strategies, building a pipeline of informed, empowered local advocates.
- Integrate the perspectives of youth in non-clinical roles — biomedical engineering, digital health, economics, design, and social justice — into the future of surgical systems.
- Position youth not only as participants but as decision-shapers in regional, national, and international surgical system policy spaces.
- Increase public understanding of SOTA access as a human right, with a special focus on debunking myths, engaging youth outside medicine, and highlighting community perspectives.
- Empower youth to contribute meaningfully to the global evidence base — through research, innovation, and technology co-creation that strengthens surgical systems.
- Prepare youth to lead not just clinical teams, but multilevel initiatives that shape policy, influence funding flows, and reform how surgical systems serve their populations.
