We Are Honored to Share Our 2023 Annual Report

We are proud to celebrate an exceptional year in which nearly 15,000 people were impacted by life-changing reconstructive surgery through ReSurge’s direct care, training, and capacity building programs. Titled “Local Action for Global Impact”, our 2023 Annual Report looks at how ReSurge’s unique model of advancing local, in-country surgical capacity is key to exponentially increasing surgical access in low-income countries throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Read the full report to gain insights into the significant milestones of the past fiscal year, acquaint yourself with the patients and partner surgeons we assist, and understand the driving force behind our mission to make reconstructive surgery accessible to all. Additionally, you’ll learn about the various events and celebrations that united our community as well as the donors, volunteers, and partners whose contributions were instrumental in making our shared impact a reality.


ReSurge’s ability to help close the gap to reconstructive surgery is rooted in the relationships and connections we are building–locally with surgical partners and trainees who are eager to learn reconstructive surgical techniques and provide state-of-art care for their communities and globally across our team of medical volunteers, institutional partners, donors, board members, and international staff. 

Anchoring and inspiring our ReSurge community is a shared belief that reconstructive surgery transforms lives and communities via a powerful multiplier effect of impact as the patients treated via ReSurge’s programs return to gainful employment, full participation in school, and active community involvement. We extend our deepest gratitude to our community for your unwavering support of ReSurge’s mission. Thank you — we did this together!
