CURE International is a nonprofit organization based in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. CURE's efforts are focused on providing medical care to children suffering primarily from orthopedic conditions. The organization operates 11 hospitals in the following countries: Afghanistan, the Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Honduras, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates and Zambia.

The organization was founded in 1996 by Dr. Scott Harrison and his wife, Sally. Its first hospital opened in 1998 in Kenya. Since then, CURE has seen more than 1,000,000 patients and performed more than 78,000 surgeries. It is today the largest provider of pediatric specialty surgical care in the developing world.

CURE International played a key role in responding to the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, sending in one of the first surgical teams into that country from the neighboring Dominican Republic.
