2025 will mark the Initiative’s last effective year, as the initial funding comes to an end. Although reflections on the future of MUSCO have been underway for several years now, discussions surrounding the sustainability of MUSCO projects and the prospect of an \u201cafter\u201d for the Initiative have been more concrete and numerous over the past year. Several possibilities have been considered, notably at the most recent meetings of the Executive Committee<\/a> (EC), to ensure that the accumulated expertise and spirit of collaboration endures beyond the initial funding, whether in a perspective of continuity or duplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Sam Daniel, who joined MUSCO’s EC following his appointment as Director of the Department of Pediatric Surgery at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMSS) in 2023, \u201cthe foundations of MUSCO’s house have been laid, now it’s a matter of continuing to build the walls and ensuring the continuity of this \u2018construction\u2019, which still needs time to be completed\u201d. Convinced of MUSCO’s relevance, he believes that its current achievements form the basis for a solid follow-up to the Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What have been the thoughts of MUSCO’s collaborators? What efforts have been made to ensure a smooth transition of the projects and expertise accumulated over the past six years?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the title suggests, a consultation process was initiated with over 50 collaborators from various hospitals, rehabilitation centers, community organizations, including front-line workers, families and patients. A wide range of expertise was mobilized to identify existing and unmet needs that a collaborative model like MUSCO could address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
