Operation Walk
is a private, not-for-profit, volunteer medical services
organization which provides free surgical treatment for patients in developing
countries (and occasionally in the US), that have no access to life-improving
care for arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions.
Operation
Walk also educates in-country orthopedic surgeons, nurses, physical therapists
and other healthcare professionals on the most advanced treatments and surgical
techniques for diseases of the hip and knee joints. This is done in conjunction
with surgeries to help create a lasting contribution to patient care in
developing countries.
