HEALTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT
More than two-thirds of the world's population, don't have reliable access to safe, effective, and affordable surgical and anesthetic care.
By investing in medical education and a well-trained healthcare workforce, communities can benefit from improved surgical services, reduced morbidity and mortality rates, and better overall health outcomes.
By collaborating with
like-minded organizations and individuals like you,
we train medical professionals and
fund the capacity of medical partner institutions,
to create sustainable change.
