GEO in Focus
Disease, disabilities and inadequate health care are inextricably related to poverty. Although poverty and disease form an interwoven cycle not easily broken, many diseases and conditions that are part of this cycle are preventable through sustained access to better health care, and stronger health care delivery systems.
The core goal of Global ENT Outreach (GEO) is to support efforts to reduce the burden of ear diseases, a hidden disability, in resource poor countries. GEO priorities are to train doctors to become self sustaining in basic otologic surgery, provide surgery to the underserved afflicated by ear disease, and provide to medical students, ENT residents, Otology Fellows, and practicing ENT international humanitarian service opportunities.
GEO honors and respects basic human rights as it applies to the delivery of medical care, the freedom for education, and the right to surgical services. Irrespective or race, color, economic status, or religion, all people are treated equal by GEO physicians who uphold to the highest standards in the delivery of care.
