"We travelled 13 hours by bus to get here. I am so grateful that you have changed my son’s life."
These were the words of Gabriel’s father shortly after his son underwent cleft lip surgery at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala. For this family, reaching the hospital required an arduous journey across Uganda. For Gabriel, it meant the opportunity for a brighter future.
From 11 to 25 April 2026, a team from Interplast Holland visited Uganda to provide patient care, strengthen local partnerships and explore opportunities for long-term collaboration in cleft, craniofacial and reconstructive surgery.
