Access to safe anesthesia care remains one of the most profound inequities in global health. Bridging the gap between evidence and policy, this article argues that integrating nurse anesthesia within advanced practice nursing frameworks offers a viable and ethical pathway toward global health equity. Drawing from international exemplars and emerging programs in low- and middle-income countries, the paper highlights evidence for the safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of nurse anesthesia education. It concludes with recommendations for policy alignment, workforce development, and global partnerships aimed at realizing universal access to safe anesthesia care.
