INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC SURGERY FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
The INTERPLAST surgical teams are experienced plastic surgeons, anaesthetists
and surgical nurses making their holidays available for operations completely free of charge in developing countries.
Medicine and surgical instruments brought by the doctors as well as the charges of transport and accommodation of the team are funded by donations.
WE LEND OUR AID TO THE POOREST IN THE WORLD
All over the world, people suffer from diseases leaving bad scars and
disfigurement. Accidents involving burns or animal bites are also very common. Children in particular suffer from this and often have to struggle with it their whole lives.
In many crisis areas, people become victims of violent conflicts. Especially for children, these assaults are traumatizing and without any appropriate treatment,
normal life is impossible.
Doctors from INTERPLAST go to crisis areas free of charge in their free time to operate and treat people in need. In this way, children can be helped to live a life
of dignity that would otherwise be denied to them.

Interplast Switzerland's major commitment over a total of three weeks with three different teams: an organizational tour de force and an absolute surgical success.
With three different focal points - burn, breast and hand surgery - it was possible to maintain efficient surgical operations throughout the entire period.
