WOMEN IN MEDICINE INITIATIVE


WOMEN IN MEDICINE INITIATIVE

Through the Women in Medicine Initiative, Operation Smile will provide
educational pathways for women to be global leaders in health care.

More than 5 million patients are in need of cleft care in the countries where we
work, and 5 billion people lack access to safe surgery globally. By educating
and empowering women in health care and medicine, Operation Smile can increase
access to care and help build global health infrastructure.

Through mentorship and leadership at the local, regional and international
levels, we can increase access to career development and leadership
opportunities, creating a lasting impact in health care and increasing access to
care for children with cleft and other surgical conditions. 



In low- and middle-income countries around the world, the Women in Medicine
Initiative works to:

EDUCATE women on advanced medical practices;
EMPOWER women to become leaders in global medicine;
EXPAND opportunities for female health care workers; and
ELEVATE cleft surgery and comprehensive care.

As part of Operation Smile's Next Decade, the Women in Medicine Initiative aims
to achieve the above goals by continuing to expand the following offerings:

 1. Women-Led Surgical Outreach Programs
 2. Medical Scholarships for Women in Medicine
 3. Leadership Conferences
 4. Research Grants




WHERE WE WORK

With the launch of Women in Medicine in 2020, Operation Smile has brought
all-women programs to patients around the world.

Morocco
March 2020
March 2022

Peru
June 2022

Malawi
September 2022

The Philippines
October 2022

The Women in Medicine Initiative has an impact not only on the women who
participate, but also the patients they treat and their families.

During the first Women in Medicine program in 2020, 96% of parents said they are
more confident to seek out medical care by women after their child received care
from an all-women health care team. And, all parents (100%), regardless of their
child’s gender, agreed that the experience made them believe in the capabilities
of family members that are women. This includes 75% of parents who strongly
agreed the program helped them believe their children or family members who are
women can pursue careers in medicine.

When 1 billion women in low- to middle-income countries are not formally
employed due to barriers in education, lack of mentorship or social stigma,
showcasing, mentoring and empowering women in medicine is critical.


MEET RWANDA'S FIRST FEMALE PLASTIC SURGEON

Dr. Francoise Mukagaju is Rwanda's first female plastic surgeon and completed
her training through Operation Smile's partnership with the University of
Rwanda. She is committed to remaining in Rwanda to help her people. "It is
important for us to stay in our country, to serve our population," she says.
"Because we have seen the need, and it is for us to meet that need."
