Chilean Team Returns to Qalqilya

This week, a three-member team from Chile and Costa Rica returned to Darwish Nazzal Hospital in Qalqilay to provide maxillofacial surgery on children. Led by surgeon Dr. Maria de los Angeles Fernandez and including surgeon Dr. Luis Alvarez - both from Santiago, Chile - and including Costa Rican anesthesiologist Dr. Juan Pablo Álvarez, the team have volunteered many times in the past and provided dozens of needy children the care that they need, but otherwise would not get locally.

The PCRF is cooperating with Smile Train to support this type of operation for children in the Middle East and has provided thousands of kids corrective surgery over the past years.
