Plastic and reconstructive surgery changes people’s lives. In the Asia Pacific region, millions of people with treatable conditions are living with disability because they can’t access or afford the care they need.
Interplast works tirelessly with local partner hospitals to give access to surgery for as many people who need it. We work with dedicated volunteers to make this happen.
It’s not only patients who benefit from surgery. With each surgery
performed by Interplast, local surgeons, anaesthetists and nurses
participate and learn. In many cases, local surgeons are gaining
hands-on experience in complex surgical techniques while under
close supervision by an Interplast surgeon.
Interplast’s purpose is twofold: to improve the lives of patients, and to build local health system’s capacity so it can deliver safe and effective plastic and reconstructive surgery when Interplast is not there.
