Endeavour
A Euro-Bangla initiative to provide life changing surgery
Surgeons of "For Bangladesh" are performing reconstructive surgery at BSMMU.
With the aim to provide life changing plastic and reconstructive surgery locally and train more Bangladeshi doctors, an association named "For Bangladesh" has been formed and operated for a while. It is a non-Government and not for profit organisation formed in 2010 by Non Resident Bangladeshi (NRB), German and Hungarian people who care for Bangladesh. Recently two plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons who are also the founding members of the association have visited Bangladesh and performed a number of complex and critical life changing surgeries at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). Hungarian surgeon Dr Greg Pataki, the medical advisor and Christian Schmitz from Germany, who is the Vice-chairman of the organisation expressed that they were very happy to provide such services to the people who could not afford it and also to the young doctors to improve their skill through hands on training. Chairman of the initiative Hasnat Mia who is an NRB informed that the initiative will continue and will be started at a larger scale in near future.
