Pediatric surgery is more than an operation,  it is the difference between disability and ability, between illness and a healthy future, between losing a child and saving a life. Every year, thousands of children require safe, timely surgical care, and together, we can make that care more accessible in Ethiopia.

The Association of Ethiopian Pediatric Surgeons warmly invites healthcare professionals, academic institutions, partners, and stakeholders to join us in celebrating World Pediatric Surgery Day at Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College.

Join us as we come together to recognize the importance of pediatric surgical care and strengthen our shared commitment to improving surgical services for children across Ethiopia.
