About
Our mission is to provide specialized volunteer medical and surgical teams to medical facilities located in areas of poverty where surgical procedures and associated care can be provided free of charge to improve lives and increase opportunities. The intent is to work collaboratively with local staff by providing the necessary equipment, supplies and training to conduct safe and effective surgery and to ultimately bring about self-sufficiency.
