believed the quality of elective general surgical care (n=67,89.3%) to be satisfactory than emergency non-trauma surgical care (n=55,70.5%) and trauma care (n=48,61.5%). Distribution of surgeons satisfied on trauma care within THs(n=22,75.9%) over PGH/DGHs(n=9, 50%) and BHs(n=17, 54.8%) was significant (p=0.015) in contrast to other service domains.
ConclusionsOverall majority of general surgeons were satisfied with their job with a significant proportion affiliated to THs. Many believed that available manpower and infrastructure to be suboptimal for ideal surgical care especially at BHs. Surgeons were satisfied on provided elective services than emergency and trauma care.
