Surgical Camps

Our mission to provide improved and better health services began in 1999 when the Founding President witnessed the children of Nagor with deformities. From 2004 to 2019, the Foundation, in a strong partnership with the Ministry of Health, started organizing surgical camps. This collaboration, along with the institutional support from our local and international doctors, nurses, and technicians, has been the backbone of our success.

The surgical camps were held to help correct congenital deformities such as cleft lips and palate, as well as those with disfigurements due to burns, bear mauling, and accidents every year.

A total of 1990 patients were screened during the 18 surgical camps, out of which 1012 lives were transformed.  Those were all done: 765 by Surgicorp International, 207 by Smile Asia, and 49 by the Duang-Keow Foundation.

The year 2019 was the last such program to be held, and it was successfully handed over to the Ministry of Health.
