We believe in a world where every child has equal access to safe surgery
That doesn't seem like such a big ask.

Every child has a right to life and that shouldn't be taken away by an injury or illness that can be easily fixed.

Children who battle cancer and undergo chemotherapy shouldn't get to the end of that process only to be denied the surgery that will offer them the chance of survival.

Children who break an arm or a leg shouldn't live the rest of their lives in disability.

Babies who need simple procedures in the first hours of life shouldn't be left to die, and children born with urological conditions shouldn't be denied an education because they can't access the simple operation they need.

Our vision is for a world where every child is treated equally

Our mission is to support local doctors, through the provision of training and infrastructure, to ensure they can use their incredible talents to care for their nation's children.

The number of children we

need to reach is overwhelming. They urgently need our help.


Our Mission

• Provide dedicated, specialist facilities and equipment for children's surgery in low resource settings
• Support existing surgical teams to deliver safe surgery for children
• Monitor, collate and understand our impact on surgical outcomes
• Advocate on the global plight of children denied access to safe surgery

What We Do

KidsOR is a UK based charity that works with partner hospitals in low and middle income countries to develop high quality, safe surgical services for children.

We work closely with regional Surgical Colleges, the Global Initiative for Children's Surgery, partner NGOs and national Departments of Health to identify where the existing and/or training children's surgeons are.

We then work with those people and their teams to ensure they have all the equipment they need to properly care for local children.

We also provide scholarships for children's surgery, helping strengthen local workforces and, in some countries, helping develop the first ever children's surgeon.
