Zimbabwe's newest life-saving theatre!

News
Our latest paediatric operating room is open in Zimbabwe!

We're delighted to announce the opening of our newest children's surgical theatre, in partnership with Smile Train, at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe.

This operating room is fully equipped with the best resources possible for children's surgery, over 3,000 separate items, and will help the local surgical team provide a world-class level of care to the children they treat.

Before After
Improving Paediatric Surgical Care in Harare

Children in Zimbabwe are facing a significant healthcare crisis. The southern African nation has alarmingly high child mortality rates. 3.5% of children do not survive birth and 5% of children do not live past the age of five. The 7 million children living in Zimbabwe deserve better, and our latest initiative aims to provide just that.

The Urgent Need for Quality Healthcare

Zimbabwe's healthcare system struggles with limited resources and infrastructure, particularly in paediatric care. The high child mortality rates underscore the urgent need for quality medical facilities and specialised care.

Our Latest Initiative...

We are thrilled to announce the opening of our newest children's surgical theatre at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe. This state-of-the-art facility, developed in partnership with Smile Train, is a significant step towards improving paediatric healthcare in the region. The new surgical theatre is equipped with the latest medical technology and staffed by highly trained professionals committed to providing the best possible care for children in need.

A Collaborative Effort for Greater Impact

Our partnership with Smile Train has been instrumental in bringing this project to life. Together, we have worked tirelessly to create a space that not only meets the highest standards of medical care but also fosters a supportive and comforting environment for young patients and their families. This partnership exemplifies the power of working together to achieve common goals and make a lasting impact.

Bringing Hope and Healing to Harare

The new paediatric surgical theatre will significantly enhance the healthcare landscape in Harare and beyond. By providing advanced surgical care closer to home, we aim to reduce child mortality rates and improve health outcomes for countless children. This facility will also serve as a training ground for local medical professionals, ensuring the sustainability and growth of paediatric care expertise within Zimbabwe.

Join Us in Our Mission

We are committed to making a difference in the lives of children in Zimbabwe and around the world. Our mission is to provide access to quality healthcare for all children, regardless of their circumstances. The opening of this new surgical theatre is a testament to our dedication and the collaborative efforts of our partners.
