Medical Treatment

Acid throwing and kerosene oil burning assaults are particularly vicious forms of attack where the motive is not to kill but to cause permanent disfigurement. The priority of the acute care is to limit the damage while the priority of the reconstructive care is to restore as much as possible the patient to optimum form of function.

DSF has enlisted selected hospitals across Pakistan for checkup, follow-up and surgeries of the victims. Volunteer doctors from Britain, USA, France and Italy also visit Pakistan on regular bases to perform reconstructive surgeries.

• Registration of victims

• Consultation with doctors and surgeons

• Prioritize surgeries and schedule the required treatment

• Before and after follow-up of medical treatment on regular basis

The outlets of Depilex Beauty Clinic facilitate Depilex Smileagain Foundation as voluntary support units forregistration of victims from all over Pakistan. This enables the Foundation to give maximum output with minimum budget support.

In most cases the treatment of burn victims is very lengthy requiring 25 to 30 surgical operations over a period of time, and the total cost incurred on the process becomes quite substantial.
