What We Do

CURE International is a Christian nonprofit organization that operates a global network of eight pediatric surgical hospitals that serve children with treatable disabilities. Our hospitals are located in Ethiopia, Niger, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda, Kenya, and the Philippines. Patients at CURE children's hospitals suffer from conditions such as cleft lip/palate, neglected clubfoot, bowed legs, burn contractures, spina bifida, brain tumors, and hydrocephalus. In addition to world-class clinical service, CURE intentionally ministers to the emotional and spiritual needs of our patient and their communities. Since its inception in 1996, CURE has conducted more than 5 million patient visits. CURE needs a variety of medical and non-medical professionals—domestic and international—to help ensure our continued service to these children. Both short and long-term opportunities are available. Whether administering anesthesia, leading a surgical intervention, connecting with donors, processing the payroll, praying with patients, or coordinating the design of a new operating theater, all are needed and integral to the mission! That's why we refer to ourselves as co-workers; whether you are the CEO or a security guard or a housekeeper, everyone plays an equally important role in the delivery of what we do.
