Mission: Surgical Volunteers International recruits highly skilled medical professional to travel to developing countries for the purpose of delivering surgical care to children and young adults. SVI provides all necessary equipment to provide care in a safe and effective manner. Our teams work worldwide, from Guatemala to Vietnam, from Morocco to India.
We fund 80% of all trip expenses with the volunteers funding the remaining 20%. Managing the trips in a very cost effective manner stretches our dollars to treat as many children as possible, and we never compromise the quality or safety of care delivered.

Notes:

Baptist Haiti Mission, Hospital Fermathe
Dates: February 27th thru March 7th Summery: The Mission to Haiti was accomplished in partnership with Smile Train. Smile Train provided for the trip planning to include locating the hospital, patients and hotel. All arrangements for this was done in cooperation with the Smile Train coordinator. Surgical Volunteers International was responsible for all of the medical volunteers and performed all of the surgical procedures. SVI had a advance team that arrived on February 26th to screen patients and prepare for one surgical case on Saturday. The rest of the team arrived on Friday February 27th. Screening was performed on over 125 patients of whom 70 were scheduled for surgery. During the week we performed a total of 70 surgical procedures. Of these 67 were Smile train procedures. In addition to the 70 surgical procedures we provided dental care to over 60 patients in the hospital dental clinic. We also had a pediatric clinic at the school in Citi Solei. In 5 days of clinics our pediatricians provided care and medications to about 150 patients. All of this care was provided without charge to the patient.
