Where we Work
Physicians Across Continents (PAC) has provided humanitarian and development aid to more than 31 countries around the world. We have conducted over 100,000 surgeries, including complex procedures in countries where local doctors are unable to provide such specialized care. PAC was the first organization to provide obstetric fistula operations in nations like Niger and Somalia. Through our efforts, we have delivered assistance to millions of beneficiaries worldwide. Below is a chart showing the nations that have been helped by PAC since its establishment in January 2003
