Operation Walk Canada is a not-for-profit organization that restores mobility and improves the quality of life of disadvantaged people in Guatemala and Ecuador by providing hip and knee replacement surgery.
These patients suffer from debilitating bone and joint disease and have little or no access to medical care.
Operation Walk Canada was established in London, Ontario in 2006 when Dr. Cec Rorabeck assembled a team that traveled to La Antigua, Guatemala and performed 52 hip and knee replacements.
In 2009, Dr. Bob Bourne formed a second team that travelled to Cuenca, Ecuador to perform hip replacement surgeries on patients with developmental hip dysplasia.
To this day, both teams have been deeply committed to hosting annual missions to these two countries.
Operation Walk Canada has no religious or political affiliations; we are funded entirely by donations from private individuals and corporate partners; and we are governed by a Board of Directors.
