Emergency Surgery
Covers full emergency surgery including theatre, anaesthesia, and post-operative care for one patient.
When floods, earthquakes, or conflict strike, injuries that would be survivable with access to a surgical team become fatal. World Aid Network's embedded surgical teams work in crisis zones and can operate within hours of a patient arriving. Your gift covers the theatre time, anaesthesia, surgical consumables, and post-operative care for one emergency surgery patient. This is the most direct intervention we offer — one gift, one life saved.

What kinds of surgery does this fund?
Trauma surgery from conflict or disaster injuries — including blast trauma, crush injuries, burns requiring debridement, and obstetric emergencies.

Does this gift include post-operative care?
Yes. The £50 cost covers the full episode of care — surgery, anaesthesia, nursing during recovery, wound care, and discharge medications.
This is the actual cost of the intervention — not a fundraising target.
