When the WDR magazine "Hier und Heute" reported on the mission in Bangalore, the work of Dr. Schuhmann's team received nationwide attention. The report shows surgical procedures, patient interviews, and the team's motivation.
In Focus: Burns Patients
Many patients have lived with pain or restricted movement for years. Through specialist flap procedures and skin grafts, hands can be opened, eyelids reconstructed, or mouth openings enlarged – essential for daily life and independence.
Behind the Scenes
The camera accompanies the team on the way to the hospital, shows improvised sterilisation rooms and explains how donated funds are used. At the same time, it becomes clear how great the gratitude of the patients is.
Long-term Perspective
In addition to the operations, workshops for local healthcare professionals are on the programme. This means that the consequences of burns can be treated earlier in the future. The team also collects data to document and evaluate treatment outcomes scientifically.
