About CURE International
CURE International establishes and operates teaching hospitals
in the developing world for the medical and spiritual healing
of disabled children and their families. Currently CURE has hospitals
in Afghanistan, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Ethiopia (opening in 2004),
Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. In the first 7 years of
operation more than 150,000 patients have been treated at CURE
hospitals and over 16,600 surgeries were performed on disabled
children.
International Voluntary Service Activities
Because CURE International is providing First World medical
technology for poor countries at a rapidly expanding rate, the
number of volunteers at each of the hospitals is essential for
optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Currently CURE is blessed
with, on average, 100 domestic and 250 international volunteers.
As the number of CURE hospitals grows worldwide, so will the number
of volunteers required to implement the models of excellence that
have proven successful. Plans are developing to open two hospitals
a year in underdeveloped countries with CURE Zambia and CURE Vietnam
the next probabilities.
