The Canadian Network for International Surgery Head Office is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was founded by Dr. Ronald Lett and incorporated in 1995. The CNIS strives to prevent the deaths of people in low-income countries from preventable and treatable surgical problems.
A Canada wide board of directors of respected professionals with administrative, financial, emergency medicine, surgical and educational expertise use a policy governance model for CNIS management. CNIS employs an International Director, Canadian Coordinator; secretary and bookkeeper with administrative costs kept at 12.5%.
The CNIS has had contracts with the Canadian Partnership Banch of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) on a continuous basis since July 1997, as well as three contracts with the Multilateral Branch of CIDA. CIDA evaluations have confirmed the efficacy of the development work. As a registered charity the CNIS is audited annually.

The CNIS is always looking to expand its membership. Membership provides a constituency of promoters and supporters in Canada for our projects in Africa. These members receive newsletters, information and invites to CNIS events. They are also encouraged to take part in the CNIS Annual General Meeting.
