Once again, Global Surgical Expedition (GSE) returned to Belize, this time covering 10 days during the month of June. GSE is a medical charity whose mission is to provide surgical care for people in need, sending surgical teams to underserved nations around the world delivering surgeries and changing lives. Medworks VP of Business Development, Will Reynolds, has been volunteering with GSE for several years. He joined up with this Belize effort from June 1st - 4th.

This trip’s accomplishments include:

• In Corozal the GSE urology team collaborated with local surgeons, providing urological care to people in need.
• In Orange Walk, Dr. Carne (General Surgeon from Oregon State) instructed a local general surgeon on the lap chole procedure. GSE provided most of the equipment and the education. This was a new venture with 16 lap chole cases being completed in 4 days.
• Throughout the time, a total of 36 cases were completed in three specialties: URO/GYN, Urology, and General Surgery.

Going forward, GSE plans to visit Belize cyclically every spring and fall. The combination of providing both surgeries and training are changing lives and “making the world better”! Thanks, Will, for your participation in this great mission.
