Meet Bilash, a sixty-year-old carpenter from Nepal.

who suffered an accidental flame burn to both hands

that would prove to have significant repercussions on his livelihood.

Bilash's limited financial and physical access to safe medical facilities.

meant he went without treatment for ten months.

During this time, he not only suffered physical pain and reduced hand mobility

, he was also unable to work and earn an income to support himself.

Journeying 10 hours to Kirtipur Hospital in Kathmandu,

local surgeon Dr. Bishal Karki and his team were able to undertake.

a successful Anterolateral Free Flap (ALT)

surgical procedure on Bilash.

The local surgeons were trained by Interplast's Country Coordinator,

Dr. Grinsell and the Interplast team through the successful online

mentoring Independent Microsurgeries Program.

This program supports local allied health professionals and surgeons in

maintaining and improving their technical skills in microsurgery

and treatment through online training.

Sincere thanks to the Rotary Club of Kenwick,

whose incredible fundraising efforts enable patients like Bilash

to gain access to safe and life-changing surgeries.

For Bilash, this has meant improved hand mobility.

and the opportunity to return to work.

In the coming weeks, Interplast's CEO Cameron Glover

will be travelling to Nepal to meet with the local surgical teams.

and World Health Organisation

representatives to discuss how Interplast.

can further support burns treatments.

Stay tuned for more from that trip!
