Healing the Children (HTC) is an American nonprofit volunteer organization (Spokane, Washington) that provides medical services to children around the world who lack access to needed medical care.

Since 1979, thirteen HTC chapters across the USA have provided services to over 146,000 patients in countries such as Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Bangladesh, Belarus, China, Croatia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Latvia, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and many other countries, including many countries in South America and Caribbean.

HTC also helps American children who have no access to medical care.

One of the programs of HTC involves bringing children who need specialized medical care to the USA for the services of volunteer doctors and medical professionals. HTC arranges for medical screenings, immigration documentation, transportation, host family support, donated medical care, and return of the child to his or her native country.

Volunteer medical and surgical professionals also travel overseas on HTC medical trips, which typically last 8 to 10 days. Patients are treated in their home country or screened for treatment in the USA, and local health professionals cooperate and learn from the American volunteers. Other volunteers assist with unpacking, preparing equipment, providing transportation, organizing patients, documenting the activities and other services.

Medical specialties include plastic and maxillofacial surgery, dental services, ear, nose and throat services, ophthalmologic, neurosurgical, urological, general surgical and orthopedic services.
