State of this article

This whole article looks to me like it was written by a CURE intern, especially starting at the "Activities" section. See laudatory rhetoric such as: "CURE hopes to transform the lives of children with hydrocephalus, cleft lip and palate, spine deformities, clubfoot and other crippling orthopedic conditions. They desire to provide surgeries, and to change lives, families, communities and cultures. CURE helps children who have no hope for the future because of their physical disability and help these children escape stereotypes in their villages and homes."

See also repeated use of the phrase "more than" (in front of numbers referring to things like patient volume and hospital staff) throughout the article in a way intended to reflect positively on the organization.

Of the ten or so citations, a third link to the CURE International website, and another third are broken links. Snake mistakes (talk) 02:52, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

This appears to no longer be the case. In fact, the quotation above and the phrase "more than" no longer appear anywhere in the article. Many additional links have been provided. AustinCan1 (talk) 19:27, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

[addressing issues]

I believe the issues cited are no longer present in the article. Promotional language is no longer present, and while there are still several references to the organization's website, there are also many external references, and all work. Scooterodell (talk) 18:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
