“…To complement frugal innovation, responsible innovation focuses on working sustainably and ethically, embedding innovation and research within the society, environment and context locally. Responsible innovation in medical device sectors has helped foster effective partnerships between industry, clinicians, researchers and policymakers, and this may be especially important for improving innovation in LMIC contexts.…”

Background Effective dissemination of technology in global surgery is vital to realize universal health coverage by 2030. Challenges include a lack of human resource, infrastructure and finance. Understanding these challenges, and exploring opportunities and solutions to overcome them, are essential to improve global surgical care. Methods This review focuses on technologies and medical devices aimed at improving surgical care and training in low‐ and middle‐income countries. The key considerations in the development of new technologies are described, along with strategies for evaluation and wider dissemination. Notable examples of where the dissemination of a new surgical technology has achieved impact are included. Results Employing the principles of frugal and responsible innovation, and aligning evaluation and development to high scientific standards help overcome some of the challenges in disseminating technology in global surgery. Exemplars of effective dissemination include low‐cost laparoscopes, gasless laparoscopic techniques and innovative training programmes for laparoscopic surgery; low‐cost and versatile external fixation devices for fractures; the LifeBox pulse oximeter project; and the use of immersive technologies in simulation, training and surgical care delivery. Conclusion Core strategies to facilitate technology dissemination in global surgery include leveraging international funding, interdisciplinary collaboration involving all key stakeholders, and frugal scientific design, development and evaluation.

“…Many low-income countries lack the appropriate government policies and institutional structures to support innovation. In such settings, international and bilateral development agencies intervene to promote innovation by providing funding, facilitating knowledge exchange, conducting policy analysis, and building institutional capacity (Dahlman, Lasagabster, and Larsen 2016).…”

While the study of the influence of external environmental factors on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is well explored in the international development literature, the importance of these factors on NGOs' transformative roles in a post-conflict development setting remains less understood. Nevertheless, external environmental factors could have a crucial impact on NGOs in such a context, especially when NGOs want to integrate a socially innovative approach into the social services they provide. Using survey data of staff members of social service NGOs from post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 120) and applying resource dependence theory, this study identifies three environmental factors of great importance for NGOs when integrating a socially innovative approach: secured financing, the willingness of service users to participate in innovative services, and the sustainability of the implemented services. By contrast, policy and regulatory frameworks and public institutions' openness are of moderate importance. Licensing and accreditation, service quality standards, and tax breaks are of even less importance. The results contribute to the understanding of the importance of external factors in the development of social innovations by the NGO sector from the perspective of the post-conflict context.
