World Pediatric Project

World Pediatric Project (WPP) heals children and advances pediatric healthcare in the world. Nine out of ten children in low resource countries lack access to basic surgical care. Every child, regardless of geography, deserves access to quality critical care in order to live a full and productive life. What does World Pediatric Project do? Teams: We mobilize diagnostic and surgery teams to heal children who lack access to pediatric specialist care. Referrals: We connect children to complex surgical care through an expansive network of partner hospitals internationally and in the United States. Training: We train local doctors, nurses, and health workers in our partner countries to build local healthcare capacity. Even as we provide care to thousands of children every year, hundreds more still wait to receive the care they need. Our capacity to reach these children, and your support of this effort, is amplified through the in-kind donations of doctors and hospitals. Every one dollar donated by our supporters becomes four dollars of provided medical care through the generosity of our volunteers and medical partners. Heal a Child, Change the World
