MiST arrived in April 2006 with the team consisting of Orthopaedic trauma surgeons, Plastic surgeon, Scrub Nurses, Radiographer and Medical Physicist, Anaesthetists and Physiotherapist.
For the two weeks stay, the team initiated treatment protocols, taught the doctors and nurses through live surgery and ward rounds.
The Foundation brought £200,000 worth of equipment which was donated to AMC to help in the infrastructure improvements of the hospital.
Six weeks later, a new team arrived at AMC to carry on the work and continue in the training of the locals within the hospital.
The work continued over the next year till 2007, with different teams arriving at AMC and we left a functioning Limb Reconstruction Unit with trained surgeons and nursing staff.
On a sad note, Professor Sohail Sahibzada, the Head of Orthopaedic Department at AMC passed away a few years later.
His enthusiasm, dedication and humour will not be forgotten and his legacy still continues.
