Exceptional surgery and building lasting health partnerships is what Interplast is known for. Interplast surgeons and other clinical volunteers are amongst the world’s best, and they give freely of their time and talent to support those in greatest need.

In this time, we have: •sent over 700 volunteers on more than 1,200 medical and training activities •provided in excess of 47,000 patient consultations •performed over 27,000 life-changing surgical procedures •facilitated over 12,000 medical training opportunities •worked in 25 countries in the Asia Pacific region This presentation will provide an overview of Interplast’s work, and reflect on the successes and challenges over 40 years, but Interplast’s work against its 4 pillars of focus: •Providing outstanding patient care •Building a sustainable workforce •Strengthening hospitals and other relevant institutions •Delivering health-system change While mobilising teams to deliver clinical and training programs across the Asia Pacific is a core part of Interplast’s work, a growing focus on supporting our local partners at an organisational and health system level. For Interplast, this means working with a broad, multidisciplinary team, including anaesthesia, nursing and rehabilitation and other allied health providers, as well as those working in governance and administration roles to achieving sustainable, long-term outcomes.
