A 27-member medical team from the Korle Bu Teaching has offered free plastic surgery and burns services to 79 patients in the Northern Region. The beneficiaries, who were made up of various age brackets, received treatment for conditions such as cleft and lip palate, contractures, cancers, swellings, keloids, scars and burns at the Tamale Teaching Hospital. The Outreach was as part of activities to mark the Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burn Centre (RPSBC), Korle Bu’s, 15th anniversary. A hundred and twenty-one (121) patients were screened to receive care but by the end of the weeklong programme, 79 were attended to. The team led by the Director of the RPSBC, Dr. Opoku Ware Ampomah, arrived in Tamale on Sunday, June 3, 2012 to perform the surgeries and returned to Accra on Sunday, June 10, 2012. The Outreach was supported by the Ministry of Health, Northern Regional Minister and the Regional Co-ordinating Council, Chief Executive and authorities of the Tamale Teaching Hospital, University for Development Studies’, School of Medical School and Allied Health Sciences. The main objective for the outreach was to build capacity for reconstructive and plastic surgery practice in the northern sector of the country and in future establish a Centre there.
