In 1996, Dr. Scott and Sally Harrison founded CURE International with a vision to transform the lives of children living with disabilities in developing countries. Motivated by their Christian faith and responding to the profound physical and spiritual needs of children in places of poverty, they established a unique organization that would combine world-class surgical care with compassionate ministry. What began as a calling has grown into a global network of eight children's hospitals across Africa and the Philippines, serving as a beacon of hope for families who have nowhere else to turn.
Today, CURE International stands as the largest provider of specialized pediatric surgical care in the developing world, addressing conditions that are often overlooked and untreated. From hydrocephalus and spina bifida to clubfoot, cleft lip and palate, and burn contractures, CURE's hospitals provide life-changing surgeries at no cost to families. Their comprehensive approach extends beyond the operating room - strengthening local healthcare systems through medical training programs, partnering with local churches for spiritual support, and running mobile clinics that reach remote communities. By training the next generation of surgeons and healthcare workers through accredited residency and fellowship programs, CURE ensures sustainable, lasting impact that will transform children's lives for years to come.
