The survivor’s journey, before and after surgery.
22-year-old laborer lost his livelihood when dense palmar burn scars bound his left hand into an unyielding fist.
Before surgery
Rigid palmar contracture tethering. Burn scars that tighten across the fingers and palm make it hard to grip, write or work.
The surgery
The surgery was done at GS Memorial Hospital in Varanasi, a BHF partner hospital. BHF funded it in full, at no cost to the family.
After surgery
Complete palm opening and functional grip.
