From Regions Hospital to Africa
Thanks to a generous in-kind donation from Regions Hospital, CSI will bring several GlideScopes to our partner sites. This vital equipment will help both our travelling surgical teams and in-country partners manage difficult pediatric airways more effectively during intubation.
A GlideScope is a type of video laryngoscope, meaning it uses a small camera and screen to provide a clear view of the airway during intubation.
Watch as Jessica Driscoll, a CSI clinical lead and volunteer OR nurse, gives you a quick demo of how a GlideScope works.

Children in low-resource countries often wait years — or a lifetime — for surgery that could change everything.
CSI is working to change that by training local surgeons, expanding resources, and creating lasting pathways to specialized pediatric surgery.
Because access to care should not depend on geography.

This week, Bill Gates announced that he will donate the bulk of his fortune to global causes — with a special focus on saving and improving lives in Africa.
His words say it best:
“By unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity — and that path is an exciting thing to be part of.”
At a time when U.S. humanitarian aid is shrinking, this commitment is a powerful signal to the world.
At Children’s Surgery International, we see what’s possible when we invest in health equity. We work side by side with African partners to provide surgical care, train local providers, and build long-term capacity.
Gates’ investment brings renewed attention to this critical work — and renewed hope for the future.
