About Us
A NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION THAT AIM TO PROVIDE SURGICAL TREAMENT, FUND RESEARCH AND EDUCATION,
SPEACIALISING IN LYMPHEDEMA AND OF UPPER/LOWER LIMBS' DISEASES
Traditionally, the field of Public Health has been centred around the prevention of communicable diseases and disease of human behaviours such as obesity.
Despite the excellent progress we have made with regards to the outlook of such diseases up to 32% of the world’s disease burden remains amenable to surgical intervention with 5 billion people still lacking access to safe surgery and anaesthesia.
Following the trend of the inverse care law those typically affected are patients are of poorer groups in society often residing in rural districts. Recognising the need for change and coinciding with the shift towards sustainable development goals the Lancet commission has set a target of 80% coverage of safe surgery and anaesthesia access by 2030.
​
A well-constructed cost-effective plan, utilising Jugaad principles is thus required in order to create an environment whereby lesser economically developed countries grow under expert supervision.
With an aim of re-establishing both form and function Plastic Surgery has the potential to play a key role in enhancing access to safe and effective surgical care. We would like to introduce ‘Give Me 5 Foundation’, a no-profit organisation aiming to improve the surgical management of limb deformities in countries with limited resources.
Until now few organizations have focused on both surgical and microsurgical management of patients with limb defects secondary to congenital deformities, trauma and infection and thus we aim to bridge this gap and ensure efficient and effective surgical access to such patients.
