Operation International is a secular, non-political, humanitarian organization founded in 1996 by three friends aspiring to offer medical aid to adults and children suffering from the lack of quality health care in impoverished countries. In our quest to change and save as many lives as possible, Operation International provides free medical care to people in need, regardless of gender, cultural, ethnic, political or religious affiliations, in tens of countries around the world. To ensure that our efforts impact underserved communities for years to come, we also offer education and training to local health care workers during each of our medical missions.
