CURE Children's Hospital of Zimbabwe

Established in April 2021, CURE Zimbabwe is the first and only hospital in the country of 14 million people to provide orthopedic care for disabilities such as clubfoot, bowed legs, and knock knees to children regardless of their economic status.

The hospital was refurbished by the Zimbabwe Orthopedic Trust in partnership with the Zimbabwean government and is located adjacent to United Bulawayo Hospital (UBH) in Bulawayo. [31] [32] [33] [34] [35]

History

The organization was founded in 1996 in central Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg, by C. Scott Harrison and his wife, Sally. [36] Ten years earlier, Harrison had traveled to Malawi, Africa to perform spine surgery and teach higher level orthopedic surgery skills to local surgeons. When his tenure as CEO and President of Kirschner Medical was over, Harrison created the Crippled Children's United Rehabilitation Effort [37] (CCURE or C²URE, later CURE), hoping to meet that need. Harrison stepped down as President in 2012. [38]

In partnership with the Africa Inland Church, CURE opened its first hospital in 1998 in Kijabe, Kenya. The African Inland Church (AIC) provided the initial land for the hospital premise as a gift to the people of Kenya. [39] The AIC-CURE Children's Hospital of Kenya partners with The College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA) to serve as a regional learning institution.

In 2006, CURE acquired Oasis Hospital in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. [40] The hospital was established in 1960 by the American missionary couple Pat and Marian Kennedy, who were a part of the missionary organization TEAM (the Evangelical Alliance Mission). The hospital has a focus on maternal health and is the oldest hospital in Al Ain. The hospital became the first non-government hospital in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to receive the Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2007 and was re-accredited in 2010 and 2013. [41]

CURE created a separate division for management of international hospitals, called CURE Healthcare Management Services, in the late 2000s. [42] Capabilities ranged from initial strategic analysis of a project to construction, staffing, outfitting and management. Clients included hospitals not owned by CURE International, in countries such as China, [43] Indonesia [44] and Angola. [45] In 2012 the division became a separate company, renamed CURE Management Services, or CMS, and continued to operate for a few years. [46] The company is no longer active.

CURE International relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan, in September 2021. At a grand opening celebration, Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss noted, "(CURE's) work is nothing short of a miracle...We now have another strong medical provider to add to the city's and region's growing list. From Spectrum Health, St. Mary's, Metro Health, Cherry Health and so many more. I can proudly say we are home to CURE International." [47]

Former hospitals

United Arab Emirates: The Kanad Hospital (formerly CURE Oasis Hospital), [48] located in Al Ain, was established in 1960 to bring American medical care to the UAE. The hospital delivers 3,500 babies and treats over 122,000 patients annually. CURE acquired the hospital in 2006. CURE International and True Sojourners entered into an agreement that transitioned the Kanad Hospital in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, between the parties, effective October 1, 2020. [49]

Dominican Republic: The Centro de Ortopedia y Especialidades CURE International, established in 2003, was located in Santo Domingo. It served approximately 700 outpatients per month. The hospital also sent surgical teams into Haiti and responded to the 2010 Haiti earthquake by sending in one of the first surgical teams into that country. [50] The hospital ceased doing surgical operations in 2018. [51]

Honduras: In 2013, the CURE Internacional Hospital de Ortopedia Pediátrica, located in San Pedro Sula, closed due to increasing insecurity in the country, and a lack of funding from the government. During its four years of operation, approximately 20,000 children were treated with orthopedic corrections. [52]

Programs and research

CURE established a program to treat infant clubfoot called CURE Clubfoot Worldwide in 2006. [53] This program then began to expand beyond CURE hospitals and partnered with other national hospitals and established clinics in countries that CURE International did not have a presence in, like Rwanda, [54] Mozambique [55] and India. [56] In 2019, CURE Clubfoot spun off from CURE as a new independent NGO, and was renamed Hope Walks. [57]

CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda attracts surgeons from around the world to its CURE Neuro Fellowship Program. [58] Part of the training program includes the treatment of hydrocephalus using the endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) procedure, a minimally invasive, shunt-less technique developed by Dr. Benjamin Warf. [59]

CURE hospitals and medical professionals have participated in a variety of global health research projects, including:

For the last 2,000 years, what they are looking for has been called the "kingdom of God." It is something to obtain in the future, but it also something here now. It is a reference to Jesus but is also within those who follow Him. Helping people find that kingdom of God is the other half of what we do. So the answer to my question is simple: CURE International, healing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God. That's our mission!
