Interplast making an impact 

Right now we have a surgical team on a two-week program in Masbate in the Philippines where the focus is repairing cleft lips and palates.

 

This is the fourth program of its type in Masbate and the team includes two surgeons, two anaesthetists and two nurses.

We also have a head and neck surgical mentoring program in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which is being led by two Interplast volunteer surgeons.
Our surgical programs to Tonga (Nuku'Alofa) & Laos (Vientiane) resulted in more than 85 people receiving life-changing surgery along with surgical skills passed on to local doctors.

The Tonga team attended to a range of conditions, while the Laos program has a strong focus on burns. Both programs included a hand therapist/physiotherapist to help with treatment and follow-up of patients, and provide training to local staff.
