International plastic surgery for developing countries
Dr. Volker Wedler is vice president of Interplast Switzerland (www.interplast-switzerland.ch). In their free time, he and his colleagues travel to conflict zones and provide surgery and treatment to people in need free of charge. Predominantly children get the chance to lead a life under humane conditions, which they could not do but for the involvement of these physicians.
