Our Mission
To enhance pediatric surgical capacity through partnerships with global pediatric health advocates & institutions.
Our Projects
Clinical Patient Care
We organize immersive, hands-on surgical exchanges in collaboration with professional teams of international pediatric volunteer specialists. We also foster ongoing professional development and cultivate the next generation of pediatric surgical leaders by sponsoring advanced clinical training and mentorship programs at distinguished healthcare institutions around the world.
Education & Training
We enhance workforce capacity of institutions through education & training. Our signature Pediatric Acute Surgical Support (PASS) course, launched in 2017, equips healthcare providers with the fundamentals in managing pediatric surgical emergencies. PASS has since been offered in Vietnam, Pakistan, Indonesia, Tanzania, Bahrain, and Jordan.
Research & Innovation
Research is a cornerstone of our academic approach to Global Surgery. We are committed to the discovery, development, and implementation of solutions that improve children’s health worldwide. Our mission is to foster and support innovative research initiatives while addressing disparities in applied biomedical research.
