Mission: Solventas is a U.S.-based nonprofit that builds local surgical access and capacity, creates self-sustaining surgical practices and improves access to lifesaving procedures in low and lower-middle income countries. Like traditional nonprofits, Solventas sponsors medical service projects and accepts donations, both financial and of medical supplies and equipment. Solventas sets itself apart, though, by working only in support of local surgeons who are struggling to earn a living in their home country, or who are currently practicing abroad but wish to return. We do so primarily by providing capital and access to surgical and practice management expertise.
Programs: Collection and distribution of medical supplies and equipment, including directly to a surgical training facility in malawi serving indigent patients.
provision of financial, surgical and management support to surgeons in low and low-to-moderate income countries (as defined by the world bank).
