Edinburgh charity helps 50,000 children access lifesaving surgery in Africa

An Edinburgh-based charity has transformed the lives of almost 50,000 children in some of the world's poorest countries after helping them access vital operations.

Theatres set up by KidsOR in some of the poorest countries have seen thousands of children go through their doors in the past 12 months, receiving surgery which often proves to be live-saving.

David Cunningham, chief executive of KidsOR, said 2021 was the charity's "most impactful year yet" and they were "hugely excited that by the end of 2022 we will further expand access to safe surgery for children in low-resource settings with the addition of another 25 operating rooms".
