The Wits Students' Surgical Society's Outreach Drives!
All proceeds are donated to selected charities and the Smile foundation.
The Wits Students' Surgical Society organizes various outreach drives to address healthcare disparities, provide surgical care to underprivileged populations, and promote health education. Our outreach initiatives encompass various activities, including medical camps, educational workshops, and collaborative efforts with local healthcare providers. We believe in the transformative power of surgery to enhance lives, and we strive to extend these benefits to those who need it the most.
Our Initiatives
* We hold collection drives such as the Nelson Mandela Sandwich Drive, Blanket Drive, and the Youth Day Drive to give back to our community.
* We visit various communities such as the Children's Hospital for Easter to give out Easter Eggs and underprivileged high schools to enlighten them about pursuing a medical career.
* We also host events with the Smile Foundation and as well as The Surgeons for Little Lives.
We encourages collaboration and welcome individuals, organizations, and volunteers who share our passion for surgical excellence and community well-being. You can get involved, contribute, or support our initiatives by staying informed about upcoming outreach events, conferences, and educational programs.
