    2024 End of Year Campaign

    As we approach the end of the year, the Foundation for Surgery is reaching out with an important request to support the 2024 End of Year Campaign: Your end-of-year gift will help ensure that the Foundation can continue to support the many projects and programs to achieve its mission. In particular, at the request of Indo-Pacific Ministries of Health, the RACS Global Health team will be deploying 26 surgical teams across 11 countries in 2025. Thirteen visits are ENT focused.

    We need your help to support RACS Global Health to provide these essential surgical services. Please consider making a donation to the Foundation for Surgery this Holiday Season.

    Indigenous Health

    The health status of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Maori people is poor in comparison to the rest of the population. The Foundation for Surgery is working to address this by increasing the number of indigenous surgeons in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand and improving understanding of culturally appropriate treatment through education and advocacy.

    Global Health

    Five billion people worldwide do not have access to safe surgical care when needed. In the Indo-Pacific Region, with your help, the global health program addresses the immediate and long-term needs of disadvantaged communities. In Timor Leste for example, we have a bold vision – to eradicate preventable blindness in East Timor. This is a huge task, and we urgently need your help to ensure people in Timor Leste have access to safe surgery and a health system with skilled local specialists.
