Global Need Each year, more than 450 million children under the age of 5 go without access to basic, life-saving surgical care.
An estimated 17 million lives are lost annually from conditions requiring surgical care, 5x greater than the death toll from HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria combined.
Without investment in surgical care, low- and middle-income countries face an estimated US $12.3 trillion in lost GDP.

Our Mission
To heal more children, in less time, by transforming access to advanced pediatric healthcare.
World Pediatrics partners with
governments, health workers, and organizations

economic productivity of communities is
strengthened.
