LIVE-SAVING SURGERY AND SUSTAINABLE CARE MENTORSHIP.

Financial constraints are a major factor limiting access to surgical care in Western Kenya. Many hospitals lack even the most basic surgical supplies, and not enough trained surgeons and surgical staff are available.

AMPATH is responding to these challenges with cost-effective, high-impact ways to provide quality surgical care to those who need it most. And more than meeting today’s needs, we’re helping train tomorrow’s surgical leaders through research, training, and hands-on mentorship.
