Mission: Interplast's mission is to provide free reconstructive surgery for people in developing nations, and to help improve health care worldwide. The organization's goals are to establish, develop, and maintain host-country medical care and educational programs with the following objectives:

- Provide direct patient care-reconstructive surgery and ancillary services to those with no other resources.

- Provide educational training and medical interchange.

- Assist host-country medical colleagues toward medical        independence.

Vision: Interplast envisions a world in which no human being suffers physically or emotionally from a repairable congenital deformity or injury. To reach that vision, Interplast partners with volunteers and overseas medical colleagues to educate and empower local communities so that medical access is available year-round - now and for generations to come.

Boilerplate:Interplast has transformed lives for 40 years. The first organization of its kind, Interplast provides free reconstructive plastic surgery for the poor in developing countries. Interplast treats children and adults with clefts, disabling burns and hand injuries. Unlike many organizations, Interplast's focus is to train and to empower developing world doctors to perform surgeries on their own for generations to come.
