Why Surgery?
Half the world’s population lacks access to basic surgical care—perpetuating poverty, malnutrition, and social inequity.
Global Surgical Expedition delivers sustainable surgical solutions to corners of the world where little to none exists—improving access to care, empowering local healthcare networks, and building surgical infrastructure.

Every Surgery Tells a Story
Maria suffered from urinary leakage, an issue that can be fixed with a 30-minute surgery she could not attain. For years she lived with the discomfort and embarrassment, causing her to isolate herself from friends and family. She struggled to afford medical pads. Frequent trips to the doctor to treat infection meant her husband had to miss work and care for their children. Her condition was impacting her children’s education and her family’s ability to lift themselves out of poverty.
GSE prioritizes surgical conditions such as Maria’s because surgery provides a definitive fix that results not only in improved health and quality of life, but also promotes financial prosperity and social advancement. In collaboration with local physicians, GSE successfully treated Maria and provided surgical training and equipment to ensure local surgeons are equipped to treat more patients like Maria.
We are surgeons, educators, advocates, and researchers.
50% of the world lacks access to basic surgical care. A donation to GSE provides surgical supplies, funds surgical expeditions, and supports training of local healthcare workers.

With your support we can ensure every person has the same opportunity for health and quality of life. And a prosperous future for families and communities.
