Free Surgeries for Needy People

Reconstructive Plastic Surgeries in Ghana is very expensive. The low number of plastic surgeons in the country tells how expensive it cost a patient to get the services of a plastic surgeon. Many people living in most rural areas cannot afford the services of these surgeon thus GRAFT foundation is keenly bent on offering free surgeries to the poor and underprivileged in the society and also makes their lives better in the society. GRAFT foundation seeks to take the financial burden of these poor individuals.

Patients are provided with drugs and consumables during surgeries at no charge and in some extreme cases, are fed, accommodated and transported to their various locations during Projects.

Team and Volunteer Training

GRAFT Foundation provides sponsorship for training of surgeons, theatre nurses, recovery nurses, anaesthetist and other non-medical personnel for free.

GRAFT foundation is in partnership with Smiletrain who organize training programs and seminars on cleft care for all it team members and also a few selected volunteers to travel out to experience cleft care in other countries.

GRAFT is Unique

GRAFT foundation is the first and only indigenous charity in Ghana and West Africa that offers free plastic surgery for multiple anomalies. There are other Charities in Ghana that offer free surgeries but are limited to either cleft, hernia or hypospadia but GRAFT offers surgeries for all anomalies and deformities that need reconstructive plastic correction

Knowledge transfer to local staffs

GRAFT Foundation believes in Knowledge transfer. Through its volunteering service, personnel and staff in rural hospitals where we work are given the opportunity to join the GRAFT Foundation team as they work. This gives them the opportunity to work with the finest professionals and learn from them.

Excellent Patients Care

Patients are given quality care before, during, and after surgeries. Our patient support system is one of the best in the country as our patients naturally become a part of the bigger GRAFT Family. Patients are supported with free drugs, feeding and accommodation during time spent with the GRAFT Foundation. Very needy patients who need aftercare are transferred to base hospitals where their follow-up surgeries and aftercare is paid for fully by the GRAFT Foundation.
