International Volunteers in Urology (IVU or IVUmed) is dedicated to making quality urological care available worldwide. We provide medical and surgical training to local doctors and nurses and care to thousands of children and adults in underserved communities worldwide.

Since 1995, IVU has partnered with teaching hospitals in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to equip local doctors and nurses with the skills they need to serve their communities. Specialized urologic care is extremely limited in low-resource areas of the world. IVU organizes surgical workshops led by experts in their fields, such as pediatric and reconstructive urology, women’s health, and oncology, who volunteer their time and funds to train their host colleagues and serve hundreds of children and adults each year.
