Resumen

FERNANDEZ-PALACIOS, Javier et al. Requirements, dynamics and execution of a plastic surgical aid project on the African continent: Africa Plastica. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.46, n.2, pp.241-252.  Epub 17-Ago-2020. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922020000300014.

There is an increasing number of surgeons willing to help countries with fewer surgeons. Between heroic individual aid and the displacement of well-stocked multidisciplinary professional teams, numerous scenarios are possible.

Our model of short and repeated visits to the same place conducted by a non-professional humanitarian aid group, is here shown as a way to provide surgical help to low-income countries. Local health workers implication in this effort is mandatory.

Africa Plastica comes up with that intention and under this dynamics, in order to aid African countries, that represent for us, as Canarian, our natural hinterland.

Palabras clave : Social action; Humanitarian Plastic Surgery; Humanitarian aid.
