Putting out of country care within reach
Many children from around the world face serious health challenges. But not all are able to access the life-saving or life-enhancing surgeries that they need because of where they live. In some countries the cost of care is too high and there is a lack of medical expertise.
SickKids is a global leader in surgical care, serving as a beacon of hope for children and families. Patients with complex conditions requiring major surgical interventions, such as brain surgery, heart surgery, or facial reconstruction, come to SickKids from around the world to receive care not available in their home countries.
Our vision is to bring children in need from around the world to SickKids for life-saving or life-altering surgeries that will make a tremendous difference in their lives because where you live shouldn’t determine if you live.

Every year, The Herbie Fund enables approximately 30 children from around the world to receive life-saving medical care at SickKids.
