Galaxy Foundation to offer plastic surgery to over 100 people

An Obuasi-based non-governmental organization (NGO), Galaxy Foundation, has partnered with some health professionals to offer free reconstructive surgery to over 100 people drawn from various parts of the country.

Speaking at a program to screen people to ascertain those whose ailments are qualified for surgery, the Executive Director for Galaxy Foundation, David Hagan, said the purpose of the screening exercise is to identify people with various forms of physical deformities and offer them free plastic surgeries.

He said the Galaxy Foundation has over the years offered free plastic surgeries to over 300 people.

“Through our NGO, we have provided free plastic surgeries to about 390 people from diverse backgrounds.

He said plans are afoot for the NGO to set up a Center for Deformity Correction, which will specialize in providing free plastic surgeries to the poor and needy living with various forms of physical deformities.

“The cost of having a plastic surgery in Ghana has been a challenge to correct these kinds of deformities, hence we at Galaxy Foundation have taken it upon ourselves to help

Just like Galaxy Foundation, other well-meaning Ghanaians should also get onboard and assist in conducting these kinds of surgeries free for people who cannot afford them,” he said.
