VISIONIn a world desperate for access to life-changing medical care, the design of current health care systems and newer government laws, directs too many resources to treatments with unproven value. We have no choice: the skyrocketing cost of care, burden on NHS and the cost of research to advance the frontiers of surgery demand that we act together to ensure that surgical treatment and innovation deliver measurable and meaningful impacts on human health and quality of life.Fortunately, we live in an age in which technology is increasingly able to tell us what really works in health care. At Abraham Blacksmith, we are committed to deploying the full breadth of that technology not just to innovate in surgical treatments but to use our surgical expertise to transform how, where and by whom care is delivered to create truly meaningful outcomes. To us, that means relief from suffering, a better quality of life, hope for the future.This journey is not short and many different surgeons will have to work together to get us to the goal but we are dedicated to the changes this will require. We are optimists and truly believe that a relentless focus on health care with a proven impact can put healthier longer lives within the reach of anyone in the world.
