Global Colorectal Surgery Education Initiative
Transforming Colorectal Surgery in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
We are advancing access to specialized colorectal surgery and comprehensive care in low- and middle-income countries through education, training, and long-term partnerships.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a future in which every person in low- and middle-income countries has access to high-quality colorectal surgery and comprehensive care for colorectal diseases.
We are working toward a true paradigm shift in how colorectal care is delivered, taught, and sustained in resource-constrained settings.

We design and deliver colorectal surgery education programs that strengthen local training, improve patient outcomes, and support long-term system change in partner institutions.
Training & Mentorship
Hands-on surgical education, case discussions, and ongoing mentorship for colorectal trainees.
