Working in underserved regions of 16 countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, Interplast teaches, empowers and partners with volunteers and overseas medical professionals so every child living in poverty has free access to the safest and highest quality care - now and in the future. By doing so, Interplast opens a lifetime of educational, social and economic possibilities once closed to them and builds year-round surgical capacity where none previously existed.
