Osborne Head and Neck Foundation

The Osborne Head & Neck Foundation (OHNF) delivers life-saving and life-changing  surgical care to communities in need around the globe. Through our Medical Aid Relief trip, each year we connect expert volunteer surgeons to those suffering in remote areas of developing nations such as Ethiopia, the Congo, India and Belize.

In 2019 we are focused on helping the people of Peru, where 20% of the population lives in poverty with limited access to specialty head and neck surgical care. The country has made incredible strides to lower poverty, but there is still work to be done. For one week surgeons and support volunteers will travel to the rural city of Cajamarca, Peru with the goal of treating over 1,000 patients in need.

Volunteers who commit to this difficult work pay their own expenses to travel to and stay on the Medical Relief trips - an incredible testament to their dedication. Monies raised by the Foundation help support the teams in the field with highly specialized equipment, supplies and instrumentation. 

We pledge to improve the local hospital facilities we partner with, and never take from a community in need - therefore everything required to perform a staggering range of procedures must be brought to some of the most logically challenging regions of the world. Fundraising provides the necessary supplies to treat a community for the week long journey.
