Our Hospitals
CURE has a comprehensive approach to providing surgical care for children with disabilities. We support their families and strengthen the capacity of local church and healthcare systems in the countries we serve.
WHAT WE DO
We provide life-changing surgical care for children suffering from treatable disabilities like clubfoot, cleft lip/palate, knock knees, bowed legs, and hydrocephalus.
Behind every number is the story of a child’s life changed, and a family and community transformed.
