The survivor’s journey, before and after surgery.
4-year-old boy had his left hand middle, ring, and little fingers tethered in burn contractures, halting childhood play.
Before surgery
3-digit rigid palmar 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.
