Mission Statement

ReSurge (formerly Interplast)’s mission is to provide free reconstructive surgery for people in developing countries, and to help improve health care worldwide. The organization’s goals are to establish, develop, and maintain host-country medical care and educational programs with the following objectives:

• Provide direct patient care—reconstructive surgery and integrated care services—to those with no other resources.
• Provide educational training and medical interchange.
• Assist host-country medical colleagues toward medical independence.

 ReSurge maintains no political or religious affiliations. Sensitivity to, and respect for, other cultures as equals pervades the ReSurge philosophy and deeply influences the manner in which we conduct ourselves as ambassadors.
