Operation Restore is an initiative by the National Burns Centre and Rotary District 3140 clubs that provides free corrective surgeries to burn survivors who cannot afford treatment. It aims to help burn victims lead normal lives despite disfigurement or disabilities from their injuries. The program started in 2011 and has held 14 camps helping around 350 patients from across India with specialized burn surgeries and post-operative care completely free of cost. The efforts are supported voluntarily by medical professionals and Rotary members who assist patients and their families through rehabilitation.

Approach
Operation Restore

8. Preparation starts by reaching out
through print, radio and social
media to patients all over India.
Screening is conducted by the
medical and welfare team to
ascertain deserving candidates
needing the corrective surgeries.
Surgery and Post-operative care by
the experienced doctors and well
trained staff ensure a holistic
recovery.
Quality
not quantity

9. All efforts are voluntary…
…be it the medical team of plastic
surgeons, anaesthetists, nursing
staff, physiotherapists and clinical
psychologists….
…or the Rotary, Inner Wheel and
Rotaract members who comfort the
patients and their families and go
the extra mile to help in their
rehabilitation.
We can’t do great things, only
small things
with great love

10. The best gift in life is a
second chance
