Abstract
The academic field of global surgery aims to develop and advance research agendas to improve access to quality, timely, and affordable surgical care for all.

This article describes community participation in global surgery research from a pro-equity approach and outlines practical considerations of the challenges and benefits of community participation throughout the research process. Surgical care is an integral component of a functional and responsive health system. The diversity and complexity of surgery means research within the field can benefit from a health system strengthening approach which moves beyond the individual to investigate societal health goals and how to achieve them...
