COA Global Surgery (COAGS)
Supporting Ugandan Hospital through COAGS
Thank you for supporting the COAGS committee initiative to keep CoRSU Hospital in Uganda open and functioning during these challenging times. CoRSU Hospital provides orthopaedic care to children who otherwise would have no access to treatment and would face lives of disability and exclusion. Canadian partners have been instrumental in establishing the hospital, training their staff, keeping the lights on, and supporting the children’s surgical care. COAGS is partnering in a fundraising campaign. Every contribution makes a difference. Access the donation link here for more information on the hospital with video clips from COA members and hospital personnel.
Let us make a difference in our own communities, and around the world. “Thank you!”
