Physicians for Peace conducts medical/surgical missions to address the immediate clinical care needs of local populations where access to medical care is limited or non-existent. While delivering hands-on patient care, our volunteers also partner with local medical staff and teach and demonstrate new techniques and procedures in areas where concepts like continuing medical education are unknown.

Many missions of Physicians for Peace focus on specific surgical needs outside of our standing programs. These missions provide life-saving and life-changing surgeries in areas such as cleft palate reconstruction, open-heart surgery, limb reconstruction and other areas.

The programs, missions and volunteers of Physicians for Peace transform the lives of countless thousands of patients in some of the neediest regions of the world. Through effective, hands-on medical education and training, clinical care and donated medical supplies, Physicians for Peace creates long-term, sustainable, replicable, and evidence-based projects to help partner nations build medical capability and capacity to help themselves.
