Education Programs

Operation Smile South Africa places an emphasis on providing training and educational opportunities to both its volunteers and rural health care providers in order to build capacity and create self-sustainable systems. In South Africa, Operation Smile South Africa has provided Basic Life Support (BLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training to doctors and nurses from Cape Town, Durban, Johannesberg, George, Oudtshoorn, and Empangeni, in addition to hands-on training and educational lectures during medical missions. We have recently conducted BLS training in the Eastern Cape and provide several BLS training sessions to doctors and nurses in Swaziland and Madagascar.

Operation Smile South Africa has also sponsored doctors from South African, Swaziland and Madagascar to attend Operation Smile’s annual Physicians Training Program (PTP) in Norfolk, USA, a two-week intensive craniofacial and cleft conference with more than 70 doctors from more than 25 countries participating.

Operation Smile South Africa sponsors educational opportunities, such as participation in conferences and workshops around the world, as these opportunities help medical professionals gain knowledge and create networks that inevitably help improve the health care systems in Southern Africa.
