.jpg) A little boy is born in Bangladesh. He is only 36 hours old – and not yet named – when he is taken to Dr Tanveer Ahmed, a plastic surgeon at Dhaka Community Hospital. The baby was born with amniotic band syndrome in all four of his little limbs. This condition caused auto amputation of some of his fingers and toes, and a clubbed left foot. Thanks to Interplast supporters, Tanveer and his local surgical team was able to give baby Tanveer the complex surgery he needed to grow into a healthy, active child.There are many other ways you can get involved and support Interplast.
