At Swisscross, humanitarian #surgicalpreparedness means more than showing up — it means arriving equipped, trained, and coordinated. From early patient screenings to ready surgical teams, we prepare for the worst to deliver the best care when it matters most.

At Swisscross, we use reconstructive surgery to restore more than appearance—we restore mobility, function, and dignity. Because healing should have no borders. #RefugeeHealth #HealingWithoutBorders #ReconstructiveSurgery #MobilityIsDignity #HumanitarianSurgery #Erbil2025

Screening is not just a medical check-up—it’s the foundation of safe, effective care. It ensures that every patient we operate on receives the right treatment at the right time, and that we prioritise those most in need.. In #Erbil this May, our team screened 85 patients.
