VietNamNet - An Interplast Australia surgical team will provide free reconstructive plastic surgery to patients in need at Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City for two weeks starting on July 31, the Australian Consulate General in the city has announced.

Interplast Australia is a non-profit organization providing voluntary medical teams to undertake programs of plastic and reconstructive surgery in developing countries in Asia-Pacific.

Sydney specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Allan Meares, and his team expect to perform about 100 free operations for local people, especially children, with medical problems including scars, burns, cleft lips and palates, fractures and nerve and tendon damage to the hands and feet. The team will work closely with Cho Ray Hospital’s medical staff who will also benefit from surgical training while the Australian team is in town.
