Mission Statement
ReSurge International's mission is to train, fund, and scale reconstructive surgical teams in low-income countries to provide life-changing care to patients with the greatest need. ReSurge envisions a world where no one suffers needlessly because of a lack of access to life-changing reconstructive surgical care that is safe, affordable, and timely.
About This Cause
Five billion people do not have access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical care worldwide. Additionally, 18 million people die annually due to surgically treatable conditions, and millions more experience a lower quality of life from preventable disabilities. ReSurge International is a nonprofit organization that is scaling up access to reconstructive surgical care in low-income countries by training and supporting the next-generation of reconstructive surgeons across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Reconstructive surgery restores normal function from an accident or trauma, a congenital condition, or cancer. Traffic accidents, burns, missing digits, cleft palates, and cancer reconstruction are all common conditions reconstructive surgeons treat. ReSurge is one of the few organizations to provide the full scope of reconstructive surgical care, providing free treatment to the patient and building local surgical capacity for long-term solutions. ReSurge impacts over 17,000 patients in a typical year and pairs 50+ years of experience with an innovative localization and empowerment model that is creating a ripple-effect of impact across economies, communities, and human lives.
