#GlobalHealth is not working for the people who need it most. 😓
Kids Operating Room won't stop until that's changed.
We back:
🧑🤝🧑 Local teams
✅ To create local solutions
🤲 To treat local patients.
And we won't stop until the work is done. 💙
Every person on 🌎 deserves surgery if they need it.
Leave a 💙 if you agree. ✊
Congratulations! Anybody who advocates for global health is a friend of ours. 👏
Thanks for sharing this important report. It's encouraging to see progress - but devastating that so many children still die from preventable causes. We must do more to support countries in building stronger, more sustainable health systems.
Safe surgery is a human right.

Just two global health icons. 💙

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. 💙
