Anaesthetic research in low- and middle-income countries.

In this issue of Anaesthesia, Kwikiriza et al. [1] report a randomised controlled trial comparing the analgesic effects of intrathecal morphine with ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block after caesarean section at a Ugandan Regional Referral Hospital. The publication of this study, authored by an international team, represents an important example of the role of academic anaesthesia in global health.
