World Pediatric Project provides direct advanced care to thousands of children each year, while also strengthening the local healthcare system. 

We do this through:

  1. DIRECT CARE – delivering pediatric surgical and specialty care to children in need
  2. GLOBAL NETWORKS – building a complex network of pediatric healthcare resources through global partnerships
  3. CAPACITY BUILDING – developing in-country healthcare resources through training and capacity building

  • Strengthen local healthcare systems by prioritizing education, training, and advocacy programs
  • Commit to excellence through monitoring patient care and tracking outcomes
  • Lead efforts on the ground in all partner countries, with professional WPP staff and partner healthcare workers
  • Cultural competency and humility
