Two foundations.
One commitment.
ISS/SIC is connected to two foundations that support surgical education, professional development, travel opportunities and international exchange. Each foundation has its own governance and activities while contributing to the wider global surgical community.
Supporting opportunity, education and exchange across borders.
International Society of Surgery Foundation
The ISS Foundation supports surgeons and surgical trainees through travel scholarships, education and international scientific exchange. Its aim is to create opportunities to participate in the global surgical community, build professional networks and bring knowledge back to local practice.
Foundation for Global Surgical Care
The Foundation for Global Surgical Care promotes education, training and professional development across the various fields of surgery. Its work supports initiatives that strengthen surgical knowledge, encourage professional exchange and expand access to learning opportunities.
Turning international connection into opportunity.
The foundations complement the scientific, educational and professional activities of ISS/SIC by helping create practical opportunities for surgeons and trainees. Their individual governance, fundraising and programmes remain distinct.
Help create opportunities that travel further.
For donations, scholarships and foundation-specific enquiries, please use the relevant foundation website. General ISS/SIC enquiries can be sent to surgery@iss-sic.com.
