Sri Lanka: Like many Southeast Asian countries, Sri Lanka has the dubious distinction of being home to many victims of disabling burns. Most are women and girls, and many are victims of domestic abuse. It’s a hidden horror: caustic chemicals are thrown at an offending woman in at attempt to maim or kill. Sometimes, the burns are self-inflicted, an escape from a circumscribed life.

Interplast opened a Surgical Outreach Center in Colombo with the express purpose of restoring some hope to the lives of these women and children with burn-related injuries. One of the country’s six plastic surgeons, Dr. Chandini Perera, has made burn care her area of expertise. Joining with Interplast, she works to heal hundreds of people suffering from burn-related injuries.

To support Dr. Perera further, Interplast provides helpful hands-on training for local medical professionals through periodic Visiting Educator Workshops. Specialized training in hand surgery is particularly useful for local physicians as burns often create such damage to the hands that they can’t be used. In an economy where the poor must use their hands to provide for their own livelihoods, surgery that can restore functionality to the hands is crucial.
