Surgicorps International provides free surgical and medical services to people in need in developing countries. Since 1994, Surgicorps has served more than 6,000, traveled to 19 countries and completed 72 trips. These individuals lack access to the most basic health care including specialty reconstructive surgery for the treatment of cleft lips and palates, severe burn scar deformities, and any number of acquired or congenital defects. In many of these countries, patients must travel by foot for hours — sometimes days — to get medical attention. Children with congenital deformities are often denied access to education, are subject to peer ridicule, and present a social and financial burden on a family already struggling for existence. Averaging five medical missions per year, Surgicorps offers a unique continuity of care through multi-year commitments to a limited number of countries. We explore and add new mission destinations as opportunities and funding are available. Our team of medical and non-medical volunteers come from around the globe.
