Celebrating World Plastic Surgery Day
The Association of Plastic Surgeons in India (APSI) has released a statement mentioning that National Plastic Surgery Day on July 15 would now be celebrated as World Plastic Surgery Day. Dr Raja Sabapathy, former APSI President had formulated this idea and had plastic surgeons across the country perform one free surgery helping hundreds of Indians on the day of the inauguration in 2011. Every year, surgeons commemorate this event by performing several operations, conducting various camps, and writing their own experiences to spread awareness about their profession since then. With a long and thriving history of great medical treatments, having National Plastic Surgery Day recognised globally is another achievement for India’s medical fraternity.
