Kids Operating Room
@kidsoperatingroom.bsky.social
A world where every child has access to safe surgery.
Every person on 🌎 deserves surgery if they need it. Leave a 💙 if you agree. ✊
Garreth Wood x Madonna. Just two global health icons. 💙 📍 Raising Malawi Fundraiser, New York.
1.7 billion children living without access to safe surgery in 2025 is incomprehensible to us. 🤯 We won't stand around and let children suffer from conditions that can be cured on an operating table. ❌ ✊ Access to surgery is a human right. We exist to make that happen.
Say it with us: Every 👏 child 👏 deserves 👏 access 👏 to 👏 surgery.
Global health was failing. ❌ In 2018, our founders Garreth and Nicola Wood took action. 💪 Now, with 97 paediatric operating rooms, they've enabled over 500,000 life-changing surgeries for children in the world's lowest-resource countries. 🌎 🙌 We're just getting started.
Did you know: more children die from a lack of access to safe surgery than they from HIV, TB and Malaria - combined. We exist to put an end to that. Kids Operating Room's work now facilitates more than 200,000 operations each YEAR for children in the lowest-resource settings imaginable. 💙
#kidsoperatingroom just opened a new PAEDIATRIC OPERATING ROOM in #Bangladesh with @smiletrainofficial.bsky.social We’re now creating capacity for more than 250,000 children a year to access surgery… #khulnacity #partnership #surgeryforchildren
Completely transformed. 🤩 Our new paediatric operating room in Harare, Zimbabwe, is unrecognisable. 🙌 Zimbabwe faces limited resources and high child mortality rates. This theatre changes that. Local surgeons now have the tools to save countless children's lives. 💙
Hello Bluesky! 👋 We’ll be using this platform as part of our journey to bring safe surgery closer for every single child on the planet. 💙
