About the company
CURE International runs a network of Christian children’s hospitals that deliver surgical care at no cost to families. In a compassionate, gospel-centered setting, qualified surgeons perform pediatric surgeries and post-operative care funded by donors worldwide. The service works through a nonprofit model: patients receive needed procedures free of charge, with funding and support coming from a global donor base and partnerships with local hospitals. This approach differentiates CURE from typical healthcare providers by combining faith-based care with a global, donor-supported system focused specifically on children. The company’s goal is to ensure that financially unable families can access essential surgical care for their children, while sharing compassionate Christian care across communities.
