Dear Colleagues, I got a request for help in the Republic of Kongo. Médecins Sans Frontières in Switzerland (MSF-CH) is involved in a hospital project Dungo in Northkongo. Now they are confronted with many patients suffering from severe face injuries due to terror attacs of the Lord Resistance Army (LRA) from Uganda. They are looking for specialists who are able to handle these severe defects. Lips, nose and ears were cut by soldiers and secundary woundhealing leads to horrible disfigurement. Please see the attached fotos.

MSF-CH wants us to support their efforts to operate on these patients. They are searching for a small team with one plastic surgeon, anaesthesist and nurse who are willing to cooperate with the general surgeon and staff from MSF in that District Hospital.

Hoping to find some enthusiastic specialists!

With best regards
Yours André Borsche
