Every child deserves access to safe, timely and comprehensive surgical care; however, this is far from reality.
An estimated 1.7 billion children and teens worldwide lack access to surgical care with over 90% of low and lower-middle-income countries' pediatric populations lacking access. 453 million children under age 5 cannot access even basic, life-saving surgical care.
We provide free surgical services to children in need. We spread a message of hope. We teach others to do the same - through education and collaboration, our goal is to help local surgical communities achieve self-sufficiency in providing care.
