A YEAR OF HEALING 2018-2019 Impact Report

VISION

Every child, regardless of geography, will have access to

quality, critical care in order to live a full and productive live.

MISSION

We heal critically ill children and build indigenous healthcare

capacity in the world.

Front Cover: 4-year-old Nyeem is already a WPP veteran. Since receiving WPP sponsored surgery three years ago

he’s visited four of WPP’s cardiac clinics in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

When World Pediatric Project (WPP) was founded in 2001, the global health community was

focused on single diseases like malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

Thankfully these investments saved millions of lives, resulting in the emergence of a new global

priority: access to surgical care. The 2015 Lancet Report on Global Surgery reveals more children

in the world die from lack of access to surgical care than malaria TB and HIV/Aids combined.

World Pediatric Project is on the frontlines of this leading global health concern.

With nearly two decades of deep experience and outcomes, World Pediatric Project is today

recognized as an important voice in this global discussion on children’s health - a discussion that

requires an organization with extensive first-hand experience, academia’s expertise in research

and access to the world’s foremost pediatric experts. Together, we are developing sustainable solutions to solve this a

global problem affecting an estimated 45 million children who lack access to basic surgical care.

Our Transformation 2023 –Every Child Initiative continues to progress toward our main four goals including every child in

eight of our partner countries having access to specialized pediatric critical care. Through thoughtful and innovative

approaches, WPP is producing outcomes worthy of global attention: Thousands more children healed, years sooner.

On behalf of the WPP family - our board of directors, staff, volunteer physicians and nurses, sponsors and industry

partners – thank you. We feel pride in the progress and stand at this crossroads because you choose to help --

financially, with time and skills, with holding a mothers hand as her child goes through surgery, and with a megaphone

to let others know the difference they can make in healing children’s lives to change the world!

Susan Rickman, CEO

In 2002, then 18-month-old Shelisa (inset) was the first

child to travel from St. Vincent and the Grenadines to

the United States through World Pediatric Project’s

International Referrals Program. After two trips to the U.S.

and receiving treatment from more than a dozen annual

WPP teams in St. Vincent, Shelisa has graduated from

high school (pictured with her mom Lucy) and now looks

forward to a life of a promising future and giving back!

PIKI WPP patient since 2006

For Piki, your support of World Pediatric Project has truly

transformed his life.

One of eight children, Piki had little access to care in the

Dominican Republic and without help would not have been

allowed to attend school. But thanks to you, Piki has received six

surgeries since 2006 (inset) and receives WPP follow-up care

annually. Now a sophomore in high school, Piki is able to live a

normal, active life of a teenager - being the goalie for his school

soccer team and play his favorite sport, basketball.

BUILDING

PROGRAM

1,080 children were impacted by ongoing

neonatal and surgical training programs

coordinated in Belize, Honduras and the Eastern

Caribbean.

It’s easy to be inspired.

We go where we are needed. We see the immense value of our efforts.

Involvement with WPP is especially fulfilling because of their commitment to

quality care. Our teams are deployed consistently every year, and WPP’s

patient information system provides readily accessible medical records for

the children we are helping. This approach is beneficial for everyone--

patients get the care they most need and WPP medical volunteers give the

same attentive care as they would to their patients back home.

Relationships grow.

We also value WPP’s U.S. Referral Program to help unique or complex

patient situations. We never feel we are under-caring for a patient.

World Pediatric Project’s approach is an excellent way of providing care.

And, we couldn’t do this alone. Generous financial contributors spark

everything else to happen, ensuring these kids get the medical care they

need. We are grateful to everyone who chooses to help us heal children.
