90% of the global burden of surgical disease occurs in low-income countries.
Our new campaign features the stories of remarkable people whose lives were transformed through reconstructive surgery.
We urgently need to raise more resources and awareness to provide free treatment to patients and training to doctors across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Help us close the gap with a donation.

Meet Our Patients
ReSurge reconstructed their bodies. They took back their lives. Together we are closing the gap to reconstructive surgery once and for all.
How your donation helps us Close the Gap:
Only 1.8% of global health funding goes to non-communicable diseases, including those needing reconstructive surgery. As one of the only organizations to provide the full scope of reconstructive surgical care for those in low-income communities, we need your support.
With our best-in-class medical volunteers, ReSurge trains and supports surgical teams to sustainably address the gaps in surgical care. With your help, we provide free treatment to patients and build local surgical capacity for long-term solutions.
It’s time to make global surgery access a priority.
ReSurge is 
to Reconstructive Surgery
The Closing the Gap campaign, led by Ogilvy Health and ReSurge International in partnership with Papaya Films, shines a light on the urgent need for essential surgical care. Explore this pressing issue through the visually stunning documentary by Mateusz Miszczyński and Jakub Stoszek, filmed with ReSurge patients and doctors across Nepal.
“We live in times where narcissism often distracts us from the beauty around us. For me, this project was about rediscovering that beauty and the incredible strength and resilience found in unexpected places. In the film, we aimed to create a simple yet powerful juxtaposition between two worlds: one privileged, where plastic surgery serves purely aesthetic goals, and the other, where it saves lives.”
– Mateusz Miszczyński, Director
Spread the Word: #HelpReSurgeClosetheGap
To the modern world, plastic surgery is a cosmetic luxury. In low-income countries, plastic and reconstructive surgery is a medical necessity. There remains a lack of doctors, resources, equity.
By sharing stories of our resilient patients who have overcome acid attacks, burn injuries, and congenital conditions—and are now thriving against the odds—you send a powerful message to the world. Join our campaign by sharing content from our campaign website, videos, and images.
Your Support Makes Our Mission Possible
We are grateful for our opportunity to touch the lives of those needing surgical treatment worldwide and grow sustainable systems for local surgical teams in low-income countries. However, we cannot make an impact without your support. Give today to create a ripple effect that changes the world through life-changing, no-cost reconstructive surgeries.
