Cure International: Justin Narducci - Building Culture and Bridging the Healthcare Gap
Manage episode 423026819 series 3486028
- "Imagine a hospital environment and having a million different pieces of equipment from a million different manufacturers and trying to maintain that or to repair it would be really difficult. And so we standardized our equipment, we're standardizing our services and we're standardizing our practices and our policies and even the way that we manage people. I think now we've gone to a place where actually if we do standardize a lot of the practices, it allows us to deliver our mission better. And we can all get pretty excited about that." - Justin Narducci
Imagine for a moment that your mission is to provide vital surgery to children in some of the world’s most underserved communities. How do you deliver high-quality, life-changing care, especially through a global pandemic? What systems and procedures do you need to build for an international workforce, many of whom live and work in places crippled by a cost-of-living crisis?
Those are the challenges faced by Justin Narducci, president and CEO of Cure International, an organization dedicated to providing the highest standard of surgical care to vulnerable children living with disabilities in Africa and Asia. With a passion for serving and a love for data, Justin is not only leading the charge to bring world-class care to children who need it most, but also innovating ways to make his team’s work more simple and reproducible.
