02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We work directly with Ministries of Health, local surgeons and their teams to transform operating rooms, pre-op and post-op rooms in their hospitals into dedicated spaces for children's surgery. All equipment needed is shipped from our warehouse in Dundee, Scotland. A team of KidsOR expert will meet the equipment when it arrives to help the local teams unload, set up and commission the medical equipment. Once the installation is finished, we keep in touch to offer any support needed with maintenance and replacement parts. We also provide surgical scholarships as well as specialised training for paediatric surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and biomedical engineers around the world.
