GLOBAL INITIATIVE FOR CHILDREN'S SURGERY

We believe in a world where every child has access to safe, quality, timely and affordable surgical, anaesthetic and nursing care... We envision a future where every child has access to surgical care. Our mission is to define and promote optimal resources for children's surgery in resource-poor regions of the world. We do this by engaging leading providers of children's surgical care globally, inclusive of the many disciplines of care, as well as organizations whose missions affect children's surgical care... GICS is a consortium of providers, institutions, and allies from around the globe and from a wide range of both LMICs and high-income countries (HICs). We believe that children's surgery includes all provision of surgical care to children, not just pediatric surgery. Thus, GICS includes all specialties and subspecialties involved in children's surgical care, such as neurosurgery, plastic surgery, orthopedics, anesthesia, intensive care, radiology, pathology, laboratory medicine,..
