The organization also runs specialty programs for clubfoot and hydrocephalus in an additional 20 countries including Bangladesh, Honduras and India.
==History==
The organization was founded in 1996 by Dr. Scott Harrison and his wife, Sally. Ten years earlier, Dr. Harrison traveled to Malawi, Africa to perform spine surgery and teach higher level orthopedic surgery skills to local surgeons. In the years following, Dr. Harrison and his wife made many trips back, discovering a need for children with orthopedic disabilities. When his tenure as CEO and President of Kirschner Medical was over, Dr. Harrison created CURE, hoping to meet that need. CURE's first hospital opened in 1998 in Kenya. Since then, CURE has seen approximately 2,400,000 patients, performed approximately 167,000 surgeries, and trained approximately 7,200 national medical professionals. Today, it is the largest provider of pediatric surgical care in the developing world.
