about 17 million people die each year due to lack of access to safe,
affordable surgery tailored to their needs.
It’s time we change that!

Entrepreneur Partners Speak: Their Impact Stories
I return regularly to the hospital ship, because I have the privilege of seeing many children whose lives are transformed. You can see them come to life and start to light up. They are starting to do things that are relatively simple for us but which were not possible for them until then. It is very gratifying for me to contribute to all these miracles!
