We make all arrangements for our volunteers upon arrival to our international destination, including transportation, lodging/meals, government permits, and clinic logistics.

We provide our services without compensation or discrimination, irrespective of race, religion, creed, or political affiliation.
SOZO
Harvest SOZO Surgical Medical Outreach was founded on the belief that knowledge of basic health facts and access to healthcare should not be the prerogative of select nations, regions, or classes, but should be shared by as many people as possible. Our work’s purpose is to include the millions of people excluded from today’s healthcare systems worldwide. During our clinics, we partner with local medical and dental professionals to share knowledge about diagnoses and treatment. We also provide community health education so that people are empowered to provide for their own health, as well as for the health of other community members. Harvest SOZO Surgical Medical Outreach contributes to the world’s communities by improving the overall health and wellness of the people via medical diagnosis and treatment, partnerships with local medical designees, community training, and fostering the principles of prevention.
