One World Surgery

Ows's approach emphasizes local partnerships, with our staff in honduras and the dominican republic leading the surgery centers while volunteers contribute essential capacity, education, and specialty services. This model ensures continuity of care for our patients, which is crucial for achieving successful long-term health outcomes and fostering resilience in the communities we serve. In 2024, we hosted 1,425 volunteers (902 new and 523 returning) across 52 medical missions (34 in honduras and 18 in the dominican republic). Volunteers contributed 57,000 hours of service, enabling us to provide surgeries, consultations, and vital education that strengthen local health systems.
