Surgical Equipment

Surgical instruments can often mean the difference between life and death. However, surgical equipment is lacking in many areas of the world. There are a large number of surgeons in the Global South who could care for more people with additional equipment.

Project Life distributes specialized surgical instruments so that specialist surgeons can provide care for their patients.
