The need

5 billion people worldwide lack timely and affordable access to surgical care resulting in high rates of avoidable disabilities and mortality. At current, 6.5% of all deaths in Low Income Countries could be adverted if access to essential surgery was available, and we need your help to reduce this!

We define a good health service as one that delivers effective, safe, timely and quality personal and non-personal health interventions, that minimises the waste of vital resources. By having a well-functioning health system, this ensures there is equitable access to essential medial products, vaccines and technologies of assured quality, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness. With only 3.5% of all surgeries taking place in low and lower-middle income countries (which are home of 35% of the world’s population) currently, at ANDO we aim to ensure the population of Sub Sahara Africa to access to safe, timely and affordable surgical care when they need it.
