Skate for something bigger than the finish line – Global Surgery Ice Challenge 2027
Did you know that 5 billion people still lack access to safe surgical and anaesthesia care?
The solution isn’t simply sending more surgical missions. Around the world, millions more well-trained healthcare professionals are needed to provide safe surgical care within their own communities.
That’s why Global Surgery Amsterdam (GSA) invests in sustainable education and training—helping local healthcare professionals build skills that continue saving lives long after the training ends.
Now it’s your turn to make a difference.
Join us as we skate across the frozen lakes of Sweden while raising funds to support sustainable surgical education around the world.
Are you ready to:
- Take on a unique endurance challenge
- Become part of an inspiring community
- Raise funds that help strengthen surgical care worldwide
Where will your fundraising go?
Every euro raised supports GSA’s educational programmes, including:
- Basics of Burn Care
- Basics of Open Fractures
- Basics of Anaesthesia
- Basics of Local Flaps
- Teach the Teacher
These programmes are currently strengthening surgical care in Tanzania, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands.
