CURE International
A U.S.-based medical charity devoted to healing physically disabled children throughout the developing world, CURE International celebrates its 10th anniversary this spring with the opening of its 10th hospital, this one in Ethiopia. Founded by Dr. Scott Harrison, orthopedic surgeon and entrepreneur, and his wife Sally, a nurse, CURE has grown to become the largest provider of specialty surgical care in the developing world.
The vision for CURE began in 1998 after the Harrisons traveled to Malawi on a medical mission and realized how they could help poor children in countries suffering from a lack of skilled medical care. CURE International:
- Establishes teaching hospitals, improving not only the health of local residents, but their level of healthcare, knowledge and skill, and the local economy and future prospects for the local residents it employs.
- Primarily targets physical disabilities such as club foot and cleft lip/palate, which are virtually non-existent in the developed world, but which continue to bring devastation and despair to Third World families.
- Responds to the needs of the communities, for example, establishing an OB/GYN Fellowship at its Afghanistan hospital, due to the country’s extremely high maternal mortality rate.
- Recently broke ground on a new cardiac hospital to serve Palestinian children in Bethlehem.
Dr. Harrison is primarily available for interviews on Monday morning, March 10 during NRB.
