Together, we can save lives.
United Surgeons for Children operates holistic health programs, with particular expertise in surgery, that save lives and avert disability. An estimated 5 billion people are living without access to surgery, and improved access to surgery has the potential to save 10 million lives each year. That’s why United Surgeons for Children is dedicated to expanding access to surgery in developing countries – creating a world in which all children, regardless of wealth or nationality, can have the opportunity to thrive in health.
