Dr. Joyce Chen, Interplast Webster Fellow.
At the Miraflores Central Military Hospital in La Paz, Bolivia, our host surgeon Dr. Jorge Terrazas enthusiastically pointed to one of the many brightly colored posters he posted over the past month, advertising the free reconstructive hand surgery that our Interplast team will provide to both pediatric and adult patients. In preparation for this trip, Dr. Terrazas, who is an orthopedic trained hand surgeon, tirelessly screened over 700 patients prior to our arrival and selected more than 100 patients to be seen by our team. Interplast has successfully partnered with Dr. Terrazas for the past eight years in La Paz; together we have operated and taken care of hundreds of patients.
