Partner for Surgery, Inc.
Mission:
Our mission is to provide impoverished rural Guatemalans with sustainable access to medical and surgical care. Guatemala the most underserved country in Latin America for health and surgical care. The typical rural Guatemalan has no experience with major medical care, has never left their cultural/language area, and frequently has no access to transportation. Furthermore, the expenses associated with surgery far exceed their ability to pay. It is our experience that almost all rural Guatemalans need assistance in order to take advantage of international volunteer surgical teams. Partner for Surgery works to overcome discrimination that prohibits access to surgery; to educate and empower rural Guatemalans to initiate and advocate for vital health care services on their own behalf; to empower rural Guatemalans with good health, in order to promote equitable economic growth and emergence from a life of bare subsistence; to achieve maximum leverage through collaboration with Guatemalan and international NGOs.
