Advanced Surgery for the Developing World
POGS is designed to serve children, institutions, and supporters through a single, focused mission: expanding access to safe, advanced pediatric surgery where it is least available.
Serving Children, Hospitals, and Global Health Partners
We serve the most vulnerable children in the world by bringing them advanced surgical expertise.
We partner with hospitals, offering a no-cost way to extend their healing mission beyond their own walls reaching children who lack access to the exceptional care these institutions provide every day.
We serve donors and foundations with a unique, ethical, and professionally managed program that finally allows their dollars to create a real impact in the developing world.
