Interplast is a Rotary initiative which many of us probably know little about.
Through a partnership with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Interplast sends fully qualified Australian and New Zealand volunteer plastic and reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and allied health professionals to the Asia Pacific region to provide free surgical treatment for patients who would otherwise not be able to afford access to such services.
Treatment is aimed at providing function and mobility for conditions such as cleft lip and palate, tumours and burns scar contractures. They also focus heavily on facilitating medical training and mentoring for in-country medical personnel.
Interplast is funded by Government, corporate supporters, Rotary Clubs and Districts throughout Australia and New Zealand and donations from the public.
