Surgeries

In South Africa, children often times do not receive the surgeries they need and require due to a number of reasons, such as Lack of money and transport to go to a Government Hospital that may have the facilities and staff to conduct a required surgery. Such a “referral” Hospital may be a long distance away and parents have no accommodation to stay at once their child is admitted to a Hospital, or taxi money to get there. Very frequently children are referred to far away Hospitals only for them to discover and be told that there is no electricity, or a surgeon is not available or the equipment is faulty or the surgical list is so long that surgery is planned for an unknown future date, which may or may not happen. Sadly, many children simply never receive the treatment they deserve or at a level of care they deserve, If parents do not have a medical aid or money. Every single child deserves access to appropriate surgical and medical treatment.

We are fully committed to these children and try to arrange surgeries for them through our network of private specialists and Hospitals wherever possible.
