In this blog, Dr. Moser shares his experience from Geneva, advocating for a global health focus on surgical care.  He represented Solidarity Bridge in the G4 Alliance and attended the opening session of the World Health Assembly. 

Through our work to resource Bolivian surgeons and their affiliate hospitals, we have witnessed the many ways quality surgical care can positively impact the health of patients, and the well-being of their families and entire communities. Yet still, “in low- and middle-income countries, 9 out of 10 people cannot access even the most basic surgical services.”

Summarizing his experiences after more than 20 mission trips, Dr. Richard Moser shares a new development at Solidarity Bridge that connects our on the ground work in Bolivia to a global movement for safer surgery. 

 In addition to our activities that support high-complexity surgeries we fervently strive to bring about inner healing and transformation to all who participate in this mission.

We invite you to use this prayer as a way of uniting with our wider Solidarity Bridge community throughout Lent. 

On the Feast of the Epiphany, we share a reflection on the Journey of the Magi, and the five elements of a mission experience. 

Meister Eckhart wrote, "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."  

On this Thanksgiving day, here are just a few of the many prayers of thanks from the Solidarity Bridge community. To each and every one of you who make this mission of healing and empowering possible, thank you!
