The work and surgical challenges in Developing Countries are unique and we are involved in different capacities to train trainee surgeons and plastic surgeons for the work  under these circumstances.

 

1. Plastic Surgeons and trainee plastic surgeons work with us on the Africa Mercy (Mercy Ships)  from countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Denmark, United States of America and Australia.

3. An online PAACS text book on plastic surgery aimed at surgeons working in the deveopling world  faced with plastic and reconstructive surgery problems is available for free download on www.paacs.net. I was privileged  to contribute 8 chapters to this book.
