About
Impactful Healthcare Solutions
Helping you resource facilities around the world and improve patient access to quality care.
Our mission is to scale the development of reliable, high-quality healthcare for every patient.
Despite positive intentions and enormous effort, most modern healthcare interventions in low-resource settings fail. Global Hospital implements transformative interventions with real and measurable impact.
We work with governments, NGOs, and private companies to plan, execute, and maintain healthcare infrastructure projects where they are needed the most. The factors affecting the availability of quality healthcare vary greatly — from poverty to extreme weather or disaster events to lack of clinical training — but there is a common thread anywhere you look: access to quality healthcare can change a person's life.
Building On a Foundation of Excellence
Through their philanthropic efforts, Garreth and Nicola Wood saw firsthand the shortage of pediatric surgical infrastructure in low-resource settings and the critical need for sustainable solutions.
Driven by a desire to transform pediatric surgical care worldwide, Kids Operating Room officially launched in 2015, quickly establishing itself as the leading global charity focused on surgical infrastructure for children. Providing life-saving equipment, training, and surgical spaces has resulted in a tangible and sustainable approach to care. As a testament to the success of this model - by the end of 2024 there will be 100 KidsOR sites around the world!
Now, that vision is being expanded even further. Building on the successful foundation and expertise of KidsOR, Global Hospital is replicating that success for patients of all ages. As a commercial enterprise, our goal is to help our customers implement healthcare solutions that work and make the expertise of our team available to everyone in global health.
A Circular Business Model
Though Global Hospital is a commercial enterprise, our business model is focused on giving back. 100% of profits go to KidsOR to support their life-saving mission to enhance surgical services for children in low-resource settings. Support for KidsOR funds the construction of more operating rooms dedicated to surgery for children, gives more surgeons access to equipment they need to operate safely, and funds the training of more medical staff to provide life-changing and life-saving surgery to thousands of children.

Quality
Improving patient outcomes requires the right planning, equipment, and training. Every project meets the highest standards of care. That means modern medical equipment, attentive design, and up-to-date training.
Collaboration
We build and maintain strong relationships with our customers, local providers, and suppliers to ensure every project adequately supports the needs of the community, maximizes budget restraints, and improves patient outcomes.
Creativity
No two projects are the same, and no challenge is too big for us. We go to areas of the world where we’re needed most and think outside the box to build solutions that address localized challenges.
Sustainability
We deliver projects that can be maintained long after completion to ensure long-term viability of patient care and minimize the environmental impact of every facility we work in or build.
Innovation
We continuously refine our services to implement the latest clinical techniques and technological advancements and create products like our Solar Surgery system to increase patient safety.
Charity
Global Hospital is wholly owned by KidsOR, the leading global charity focused on developing surgical infrastructure for children. Every penny of profit goes back into KidsOR to enhance surgical services for children around the world.
When we founded KidsOR, we had no idea we would build 80 operating rooms in more than 40 countries and become a global leader in healthcare infrastructure development. Because our work was so effective, we saw an opportunity to expand and make our expertise available to the entire global health community. And so, Global Hospital was born.
