When the mothers and fathers saw their children for the first time after their surgery, their positive reactions and facial expressions transcended any language barrier between providers and patients. As surgeons, I believe we all have a duty to give back to those who have little or no access to care. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve in Bangladesh through the GIVE program!
