Recently, a formal closing ceremony was held in Sylhet to mark the end of 7th Rotaplast mission to Sylhet, Bangladesh.
As part of the mission, 69 patients – mostly children, living near Chevron Bangladesh-operated Jalalabad gas plant received free life-changing reconstructive surgeries to correct cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial anomalies and burns.
The 10-day mission was partially sponsored by Chevron Bangladesh and was conducted in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Jalalabad and Sylhet Women’s Medical College Hospital (SWMCH).
Over 29 volunteers from 6 countries took part in this year’s Sylhet mission. The team included reconstructive plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, speech pathologists, orthodontists, and nurses.
