All our actions are founded on research and guided by evidence-based data, ensuring that our interventions are appropriate and effective.

We conduct post-intervention evaluations to measure the impact of our projects and continuously improve our practices. Systematic data collection also provides useful information to health authorities, helping to better guide policies and decisions in the field of pediatric surgery.
