Global Medical and Surgical Teams

Global Medical and Surgical Teams (GMAST) is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to providing essential surgical and medical services to underserved communities worldwide. Founded in 2004, the organization focuses on addressing the global burden of surgical disease by deploying volunteer teams of specialized surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists. GMAST primarily specializes in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive surgery, often operating in resource-limited environments or disaster zones. Beyond direct patient care, the organization emphasizes the education and training of local medical professionals to ensure long-term sustainability in healthcare delivery. By collaborating with local hospitals and ministries of health, GMAST works to improve surgical infrastructure and clinical outcomes in developing nations.
