Uniting the humanitarian efforts |
|
|||
The Global Paediatric Surgery Network (GPSN) serves as a clearinghouse for volunteer work performed by pediatric surgeons around the world. Pediatric surgeons in low- and middle-income countries who wish assistance can describe their needs, and volunteer surgeons can indicate their interests. The aim is to make humanitarian work more efficient by eliminating duplicate efforts, and to work together with local surgeons towards common goals.
In addition the website has many resources--not only for pediatric surgeons in resource poor areas, but for volunteer pediatric surgeons as well.
Please email Marilyn Butler (mbutler@globalpaediatricsurgery.org) if you are interested in donating money to support the GPSN. The following have generously provided funding for initial development of the website:
