What We Do
The Global Paediatric Surgery Network (GPSN) serves as a clearinghouse for volunteer work performed by pediatric surgeons around the world. The aim is to make humanitarian work more efficient by eliminating duplicate efforts, and to work together with local surgeons and others towards common goals.
In addition the website has many resources--not only for pediatric surgeons in resource poor areas, but for pediatric surgeons interested in global surgery as well.
FInally, the Global Paediatric Surgery Network Collaborative has emerged as a group of paediatric surgeons from around the world, interested in promoting an agenda to improve the surgical care of children, through Networking, Practice, Education, Research, and Advocacy.
