About Sigma

Better surgical care starts with better data.

Sigma helps health systems collect, monitor and compare surgical indicators across member institutions, regions and countries โ€” turning fragmented records into a clear, shared picture of surgical access and quality.

Our mission

Five billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical care when needed. Measuring the gap is the first step to closing it. Sigma gives ministries of health, regional bodies and facilities a single place to capture the globally recognised surgical indicators and act on what the numbers reveal.

Registered users can enroll facilities, submit indicator data, and view aggregated summaries for surgical volume, perioperative mortality, workforce density, access to timely surgery, and financial risk protection.

Standardised

Built around the internationally recognised core surgical indicators.

Multi-level

Aggregate from facility to administrative unit, region and country.

Secure

Role-based access keeps clinical and operational data protected.

Actionable

Benchmark performance and track progress over time.
