User:MrsMill/MiST: Mobile International Surgical Teams

MiST: Mobile International Surgical Teams MiST (an acronym for 'Mobile International Surgical Teams') is a UK charity which specialises in Rapid Medical Response - Orthopaedic Surgery - Advanced Training of Medical Personnel Internationally.

MiST History MiST was founded by a team of doctors and surgeons based in Manchester, UK in 1995 as a response to the South Asian Earthquake tragedy. MiST aimed to provide immediate medical assistance, and soon found a huge need for specialist medical care and expert training of local medics. And such MiST grew to provide complex surgery and establish quality training which enabled local medical teams to continue treatments.

MiST sought to assist victims of natural and man-made disasters, establishing medical training of people trapped in humanitarian and economic crises. MiST reaches individuals and helps to create sustainable health facilities for the well-being of all, where they are most needed. Founders Professor Sohail Khan and Doctor Peter Naylor continue to develop the work of MiST internationally.

To date, Mist has worked in UK, Greece, Pakistan, Palestine, South Africa and Sudan.
