Partnership in Action

Johnson & Johnson: Strategic Support in Areas of Greatest Need

“By partnering with Kids Operating Room, we have made it possible for many communities in resource-limited settings to have access to life-saving surgical care closer to home.” 

Ian Walker, Global Partnership & External Affairs Lead, Johnson & Johnson Global Health Equity. 

Johnson & Johnson is helping us tackle Malawi’s high rates paediatric trauma by funding specialist long-bone fracture units and surgical training - strengthening regional care where it's most needed. This not only addresses urgent local health needs, but aligns with Johnson & Johnson Foundation’s mission to create a world without health inequities by closing the gaps between communities and the care they need.

Artemis: Empowering Staff Through Purpose-Driven Work 

Our long-standing partner Artemis support us in numerous ways, from Foundation funding, to hosting events and staff fundraising. Recently, a team assisted with an operating room installation in Rwanda.

“As a trustee of the Artemis Charitable Foundation, we are always on the look-out for charities that give an exceptional bang for our charitable buck. KidsOR is one such charity…  I will never forget the huge smile on Dr Alex’s face when she first saw her new operating room in Kigali with its 3300 brand new pieces of state-of-the-art equipment.”
