SURGhub is setting a bold new goal: to reach 100,000 healthcare workers with high-quality surgical training. To help power this record expansion, the platform is launching the SURGhub Ambassador Programme — a global movement of motivated professionals and advocates helping to extend access to surgical education to every corner of the world.

By joining the MOOVE initiative, led by the LIGHT Lab at Harvard University and EPFL, SURGhub is enabling the first-ever effort to validate large language models (LLMs) specifically for surgical care in remote and low-resource settings.

SURGhub has reached a major milestone: 10,000 United Nations certificates awarded to surgical healthcare workers worldwide. Each certificate represents stronger surgical skills, safer care for patients, and progress toward building resilient health systems.
