Meet Rali Mampeule: Magoebaskloof local behind global surgery fund for the poor #WEF20

It is estimated that over 5 billion people globally and 90% of the world’s poor do not have access to surgery which often leads to preventable deaths. It has prompted a South African businessman, Rali Mampeule to become a founder of a Global Surgery Foundation that was launched  at the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Mampuele told Biznews that his involvement in the Global Surgery Foundation, which now has UN backing stems from tragic circumstances involving his twin sister. We also spoke to one of the CEOs of the foundation, Dr Geoffrey Ibbotson who is a surgeon that has decided to put his weight behind this drive to prevent people from dying because they could not get what is often regarded as basic operations. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.
