BAPRAS
The British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons is one of the world's leading plastic surgery institutions, guiding practice, development, study and research in the specialty. In October 2006, BAPRAS granted the IRPS £25,000 per annum for 3 years to train Ghanaian surgeons intensively in UK and to organise specialised training courses in Ghana staffed by volunteer UK consultant plastic surgeons. The IRPS is most grateful and highly delighted that such an eminent institution as BAPRAS expressed its support for the aims and accomplishments of the charity by awarding such an outstanding figure.

Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland
LTSB has been very helpful to the IRPS, providing valuable advice, information and financial support.

Scottish Executive
In 2006 the International Development Fund granted the IRPS a tremendous award of £45,000 per annum for 3 years. This permitted long-term planning to be confidently undertaken and encouraged further donations for other sponsors. This has put us well on the way to achieving the goal of creating West Africs's first enduring, self-sufficient plastic surgery service by 2011.

Helen Camilleri
