Organization Description:

The core goal of Global ENT Outreach (GEO) is to support efforts that will reduce the burden of ear diseases- a hidden disability- in developing and low-income countries. GEO priorities are first to train ENT doctorsin developing countries to become self sustaining in basic otologic surgery, second to provide surgery to the underserved that suffer from the disabilities of hearing loss and ear disease so that they can have access to education and work, the tools needed to fulfill their human potential, and third to provide to medical students, ENT residents, fellows, and practicing ENT international humanitarian service opportunities.

Example Project:

Global ENT has made a committed pledge to assist the ENT community and the University Cayetano Herida Otolaryngology Department, in conjunction with Professor Jorge Centeno, MD, and help establish the SALUD OIDO PROGRAM in Peru. This program is dedicated to providing humanitarian otological surgical services to those living in both rural and semi rural areas of Peru where there is a shortage of ENT and much needed care. The program will train ENT physicians in advanced ear surgery techniques and provide them with the skills needed so they can render the needed care to the Peruvian people living rurally.
