We are a diverse group of people who deeply care about improving access to surgical care worldwide and believe that those solutions come from the ground up. Our mission is to create an environment to have safe conversations about equitable surgical care globally. To give a voice to surgical providers on the ground to express the challenges of delivering surgical care in their contexts. To highlight equitable global surgical partnerships, free from neocolonialism. To offer evidence-based approaches to building capacity in surgical care and to be impactful by sending a call to action after each conversation.
