Dr Mark Lee and fellow specialist plastic surgeon Tony Baker, along with anaesthetists Ross Ireland and Barney Creswell, spent two weeks operating on over 50 children and adults in Bugando Hospital. Our practice nurse at the time, Caroline, joined the team to assist with surgeries that included cleft lip and palate repairs, burn contractures and reconstructive microsurgery of unusual facial deformities. Dr Mark Lee and Tony spent time teaching both the local surgeons and nurses new skills in order to continue this valuable work.
