Interplast is proud to partner with organisations that share our mission to enhance people’s health and wellbeing by enabling access to life changing reconstructive surgery and related medical services.
Collaboration is key to building sustainable health systems across the Pacific and Asia. The sharing of skill and expertise ensures that together we are building a stronger health system for all people.
We would like to thank our partners for their support:
Interplast works with a number of local governments, hospitals, health services and community organisations in the Pacific and Asia to deliver care and training. We only work in countries where we are invited by local leadership to contribute to their healthcare priorities. Local ownership of our programs is essential to sustainable outcomes and long-term impact.
