About

  • United States

Surgicorps International provides free surgical and medical care to people in need around the world.

These individuals lack access to the most basic health care including specialty reconstructive surgery for the treatment of cleft lips and palates, severe burn scar deformities, and any number of acquired or congenital defects. In many of these countries, patients must travel by foot for hours — sometimes days — to get medical attention.

Children with congenital deformities are often denied access to education, are subject to peer ridicule, and present a social and financial burden on a family already struggling for existence.

Medical and non-medical volunteers are both needed for successful medical missions. If you're interested in giving back and experiencing a trip of a lifetime, we encourage you to apply.

Please fill out an application to be considered for an upcoming medical mission.

Unfortunately we cannot accept every applicant. Spots available for each trip are determined by the host country’s need and available accommodations.
