Our Mission

Education of colleagues

Preparation and implementation of surgical procedures, especially middle ear surgery

 Transfer of technology providing anesthesiology and monitoring for the patients

Transfer of technology such as surgical equipment, microscopes and endoscopes

Communication with other international projects and help foundations such as the American-Austrian Foundation (http://www.aaf-online.org)

Organisation and support of residencies abroad and in their respective countries

Support in the implementation of advanced training courses

Intercultural exchange

In essence, we want all our activities to be rolled out in co-operation with the health care system of the respective country and co-ordinated with the relevant embassies.

Another aspect of our work is the improvement of medical and technical equipment with regards to the local circumstances. A great example of this is the development of a portable microscope weighing only 11kg and utilising the most modern technology available (LED-light, independence of the electricity network through the possibility of battery operation and compatibility with car batteries). It is manufactured small enough to be transported as a flight case on an aeroplane, meaning this fully-fledged surgical microscope can not only be transported into different countries, but also used in different ways: in the policlinic or the OR, in urban hospitals or rural regions.

All members and persons engaged in the group work voluntarily.
