The Right To Heal is a film that sheds light on the neglected issues of surgical care globally, and the need for organizations and individuals to unite in bringing essential surgery to poorly-served areas of the world.

During the 72nd World Health Assembly in Geneva, the Ministry of Health Kenya and the Philippines in partnership with Smile Train, KidsOR, Henry Family Advised Fund, College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA), The G4 Alliance, and West African College of Surgeons (WACS), hosted ‘Accelerating progress towards surgical equity in Universal Health Coverage through scaling up children’s surgical services and eliminating Neglected Surgical Diseases (NSDs) by 2030’ on May 23, 2019 at the InterContinental Hotel.

Special event, hosted in parallel with the 73rd UN General Assembly, brought together high-level delegates to shed light on Eradicating Neglected Surgical Diseases: Advancing Universal Health Coverage Through Surgical Systems Strengthening. Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi joined in the launch of a program that will see the elimination of Neglected Surgical Diseases (NSDs).
