From the very beginning, ASF attracted a number of local and international surgeons who were willing to dedicate their expertise for these unfortunate women, children and men. In addition to their regular job in other hospitals the local plastic surgeons and their operation team provide acid survivors with the best plastic surgery available in Bangladesh. In addition to the local surgeons, highly skilled international consultants in the field of reconstructive & eye surgery visit Bangladesh on average once or twice a year to operate the very difficult cases and train their colleagues in Bangladesh. |

Acid attacks not only devastate a person’s body, but also leave the victims psychologically traumatized. Their life plans and dreams are shattered into a million pieces and it is very difficult for them to accept that their lives have been irrevocably changed in an instant. To help them cope, ASF provides basic counseling, psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment including modern therapeutic techniques. |
