Operation Rainbow

Operation Rainbow is a U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare organization focused on delivering free orthopedic surgery and related care to indigent children and young adults in low-resource countries. Founded in 1978, it operates through volunteer-led medical missions and emphasizes not only direct surgical care but also training and education for local healthcare providers to build long-term self-sufficiency. The organization is not a drug developer or biotech company; its work is centered on humanitarian orthopedic services, donated medical supplies, and recurring missions in Latin America and other underserved regions. Its operating model relies heavily on self-funded volunteers, low administrative overhead, and partnerships with medical supply donors and local hospitals.
