CURE Uganda is a place of hope for children with treatable disabilities.

Before Surgery

Each child’s healing journey begins with a warm welcome from our compassionate team, who makes sure children and their families are physically and emotionally ready for treatment. Before surgery, children are assessed by the anesthesiologist and pediatrician.

Conditions We Treat

CURE’s world-class medical team specializes in pediatric surgical care. Without treatment, these conditions could become permanent, life-limiting disabilities.

Encephalocele

 a congenital brain and spinal cord deformation during pregnancy, where the spinal cord doesn’t properly close

Hydrocephalus

a life-threatening condition caused by an excess of cerebral spinal fluid inside the skull, causing pressure

Spina Bifida

a congenital disability that occurs when the spinal cord doesn’t form correctly during pregnancy and presents outside of a child’s body at birth

After Surgery

After surgery, children receive regular check-ups, physical and emotional therapy, and any adaptive devices needed, like wheelchairs and crutches.The path to recovery even includes fun—like making new friends in the playroom.
