LuskinOIC’s International Children’s Program continues its vital work of providing free, high-quality orthopaedic care to children in need in Mexico. Established in 1962, the program offers specialized treatment through clinics at the US/Mexico border, ensuring that children receive world-class care regardless of their financial background. On November 15, Dr. Silva, LuskinOIC chief medical officer, and his medical team offered a successful clinic at Mexicali General Hospital, where children and families received much-needed support.
Sponsored by Rapiscan, the clinic extended critical medical services to dozens of children in need. Rapiscan is honored to play a part in supporting these life-changing initiatives; their partnership with LuskinOIC strengthens this mission, making advanced orthopaedic treatment accessible to children who would otherwise go without it. Together, we are enhancing pediatric orthopaedics by prioritizing exceptional patient care.
