Mobile Oases in Surgical Deserts

Surgery, Obstetrics, Trauma Care, Anesthesia (SOTA) in the most remote regions of the world.

We exist to provide the infrastructure and logistics to increase the presence and professionalism of regional SOTA care.

With our partners, the SOTA Convoys (SOTAC) team teaches and provides basic life-saving and life-changing procedures to areas where people are too poor, too remote, or too debilitated to access it themselves.

Envisioning a Healthier World

We believe the world will be a better place when four strands of healthcare – Surgery, Obstetrics, Trauma Care, Anesthesia (SOTA) – are made more broadly available.

Our purpose is to increase the presence and professionalism of regional SOTA care by providing and teaching basic but critical transformative procedures to which every person should have access.
