Training is supported by solid partnership and sustained support
Our volunteers and trainees become colleagues and continue their relationships until the local providers are confident in their new skills, feel empowered to enhance surgical care and are able to teach others and become trainers themselves.
Our model is based on three principles:
Teach. Collaborate. Sustain.
Through our programs, we help local surgical care providers receive the training they need to heal patients in their own communities.
