Dehradun, India - Nicole Friedland, Interplast chief development officer.
Big improvements for the patients and the team this year! Dr. Kush Aeron, Interplast's international partner in Dehradun, has arranged for the team to perform surgeries in the state hospital where he works. The chief minister of the state of Uttarakhand authorized the use after a recent meeting with Dr. Kush, Dr. Scott Corlew, Interplast chief medical officer and Susan Hayes, Interplast president and CEO.
Previously, surgeries have taken place at New Disha Hospital, a small two-bed clinic run by Dr. Kush and Dr. Yogi Aeron, Interplast surgical outreach director. We feel fortunate to stretch out in the safe and large space of this impressive hospital.
Dr. Kush and Dr. Yogi have done an amazing job of preparing for the team, as always.
Dr. Corlew was very very helpful in guiding us and advising us on one of our most critical cases -- that of a young woman who had been force fed acid, and was in need of surgery. And we remain eternally grateful for that support! We think you are doing a fantastic job. And we would be very interested in featuring your work in India on our blog -- Gender Bytes.(specially the story of the man who has written the thank you letter for his sister). Do let us know.
