A message from the President
Dear visitor,
As the world has become “smaller”, we all recognize the importance of education in the developing world, and especially so in the field of health care and surgery. The primary goal of the ISS Foundation is to help to educate surgeons in the developing world on new techniques, state-of the-art ideas, and the ability to deliver these advances to their citizens. Our Society and this Foundation is dedicated to these educational endeavors. Please help us to meet these goals. Marco G. Patti, MD
