Global CARE is a health initiative run by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh to address healthcare inequality worldwide by building sustainable surgical and dental capacity in communities suffering from chronic shortages of care. We work through strategic partnerships and targeted initiatives to create sustainable, long-lasting impact in low and middle-income countries. 

Global CARE, formerly known as the Global Surgery Foundation, was established in 2015 and has since undergone a rebranding to broaden its impact and reach.

• Global CARE Grants: Project Funding of up to £10,000 for projects in low and middle-income countries.
• Global CARE Scholarships: Individual Training Support of up to £25,000 for healthcare professionals from low and middle-income countries for specialised training.

• Project funding (Global CARE Grants) is open to applicants from both the UK and abroad for initiatives in low and middle-income countries.
• Individual Training Support (Global CARE Scholarships) is specifically for healthcare professionals from low and middle-income countries. If you have already applied for the IPD and are successful in your application, you may apply for a Global CARE Scholarship to secure funding.

For all applications, you must provide:

• Evidence of need
• Sustainability plans
• Expected outcomes
