It is with great sadness that I  need to inform you of the death or Mr Charles Viva, our founder and fellow trustee. What can I say, for words seems so inadequate.

We give thanks for all his work, commitment and vision of InterplastUk and all his medical expertise over many decades but most of all for the wonderful qualities of love, compassion and humility that he personified. He is a great loss to his family,  all of us who have known him, worked with him and whose lives he has touched and transformed. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Viva family , including our fellow trustees David and Rachel, at this very difficult time. We all mourn the loss of a very special man.

May he rest in peace.

God bless you all

Celine Alexander-Brown

Chairperson

Two week plastic and reconstructive surgery mission to

Kumi, Uganda.

The dates will be 5th February to 19^th February 2023.

This is the first mission since 2019.

We would like to share some wonderful news. Congratulations to  our founder and trustee, Mr Charles Viva, on being awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list for 2022. The award recognises his services to plastic and reconstructive surgery in the developing world.
