Another successful surgical trip and partnering with Kafika House! 55 surgeries completed!

It was incredible having One World Medical Relief back in town for a profoundly impactful week of surgeries.

We also took the opportunity to show off our lovely new Moshi home - here is Dr Brown with the team after a tour of the premises.

We’re happy to be back in Arusha with Kafika House!

Today is World Birth Defects Day, which makes it so very fitting that One World Medical Relief are visiting for a week-long plastic surgery clinic, focusing on children with cleft lips and palates, burn scar contractures, and masses.

It has been wonderful to welcome Dr Brown, Dr Gerow, Dr Bakker, Dr Schnur and Dr Amis back to Arusha, and we are deeply grateful for what their visit will mean to our children. Thank you, One World Medical Relief.

A throw back to 2011 for our group at Selian Lutheran Hospital. Some of us have been doing this long before this, like Dr. Bill Brown, and some come in and make a difference in stages over the years. It’s all impactful with the goal being to change lives for the better in the communities we serve and the medical providers we help mentor.

The Plaster House is now Kafika House! Same great people and mission! We were happy to have been there and for Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerow to complete 23 surgeries for patients with cleft lip and palates and burn scar contractures!

What a team! Dr Brown, Dr Schnur, and Joseph the anaesthetist from One World Medical Relief, joined forces with Dr Mrema from Muhimbili Hospital and Dr Manjira from FAME Medical for our first-ever plastic surgery clinic in Karatu.

They treated a total of 27 patients for cleft lips and palates, and burn scar contractures. We couldn't be more delighted that this took place in our new home, and we're immeasurably proud of everyone who made it happen. Thank you, FAME and One World Medical Relief!

Happy to be back and working with everyone at The Plaster House!

What a momentous week we have underway... we've welcomed One World Medical Relief back to Tanzania, and this time, they'll be performing surgeries in Karatu!

It feels incredibly special to have expanded not just our high-love, low-cost care but also our partnerships - captured in this pic. On the left is Keira, our Clinical Services Manager; Dr Brown of One World Medical Relief; Dr Manjira, general surgeon from FAME Medical, our Karatu surgical partner; and Dr Mrema, plastic surgeon from Muhimbili Hospital, here to learn from Dr Brown.

Thank you for partnering with us! We could not do this without your support and coordination with us and with the children and their families. You all are amazing!

When One World Medical Relief came in March, they treated an incredible 66 patients.

Of these, 20 were children with cleft lips and palates, all below the age of five, and 31 had burns and burn scar contractures.

It's remarkable to think of the difference they made in such a short space of time. Their huge-hearted generosity never fails to amaze us! Thank you for all you do.

One of the reason we do this

To all the UK mamas - happy mother's day!

We couldn't resist an excuse to share another One World Medical Relief pic. This was snapped while Dr. Brown and Dr. Schnur were doing their post-op rounds, checking up on this little chap who had cleft lip repair.

As you can see from his mother's face, there's no better gift than your baby getting his smile back.

We took a peek into the room as the One World Medical Relief team screened patients for surgery.

Medical checks don't fill many people with joy, and you can imagine a mother's trepidation as her child is assessed for treatment of his disability.

That's why we love the smiles in this snap: the warmth and kindness in the doctors' faces, setting their small patient and his mama at ease.

We love seeing the healing & positive changes to their quality of life after our surgery trips! Thank you, The Plaster House!

When One World Medical Relief visited us recently, they managed to surgically correct a burn scar contracture that connected this young girl's chin to her neck.

It brings us such joy to see her sharing a book with friends, being a child just as she should be. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
