Operation Hernia

Operation Hernia is a surgical programme set-up to treat and teach inguinal hernia surgery in low and middle income countries. It was initiated in 2005 in Takoradi, Ghana and now operates in three other countries of West Africa, in Mongolia and in Ecuador and with plans for further expansion in 2011. Surgeon Volunteers are drawn mainly from members of the European Hernia Society, by Andrew Kingsnorth, Past-President of the European Hernia Society who also recruits volunteers, initiates and organises the missions.
