Here is how the program works:

First, ReSurge finds promising surgeons from low-income countries passionate about humanitarian work.

Then our global network of top medical volunteers trains the entire surgical team in the latest techniques with a combination of virtual and hands-on learning.

Once a local surgeon is trained, and their hospital is qualified, the surgeon can go on to become a ReSurge Surgical Partner and will treat an average of 10,000 patients.

ReSurge directly funds these partners so they can provide 100% free care to patients.

When the Surgical Partner becomes a trainer themselves, the cycle repeats itself. Each ReSurge trainer has the potential to impact 400,000 patients over their lifetime, creating a profound ripple effect.
