A medical project close to the heart – Prof. Dr. Altintas in Africa Djibouti

In May 2020, the plastic surgeon Professor Dr. Altintas and the Mc Aesthetics team from Cologne (Germany) launched another medical mission in Djibouti to assist those in need.

Djibouti is a country located in the East of Africa. It is a multi-ethnic country with a population of over 929,850 and the two official languages are French and Arabic. Djibouti is one of the smallest countries in the African continent and a highly underdeveloped country. The unemployment rate was officially 60% in 2005 and about half of the inhabitants live in slums. Also the health system is poorly developed, so the life expectancy at birth is around 64.7 %. Additionally Djiboutians are still struggling with many tropical diseases and basic medical requirements. That is the reason why it is so valuable to help and support. As the demand for help is still widespread, the number of helpers is far from enough. In particular, doctors are being sought for long-term tasks. Therefore, an organization named Aesthecef Worldwide supports doctors willing to provide medical assistance in developing countries such as Djibuti.

From May 5 to 12, a new visit was made in Djibouti, one of the poorest countries in the world. The founder and managing director of Mc Aesthetics Dr. Altintas and Dr. Martin A. Hellsing, CEO and founder of Aesthecef Worldwide, once again provided help to many poor people who could not afford a surgery but suffered a lot. Due to the continuing lack of modern health systems in many African countries such as Djibuti, patients cannot get a necessary plastic and reconstructive surgery. A sad fact is that there are about 18 doctors per 100,000 people in Djibouti. But often only by this kind of surgery the patients have a chance to return to a normal life. Within these days a total of 102 patients were operated on, including many children with burn contractures. “It is a good thing to help people in need. And we know that it is right. A few of my German patients gave me some cute toys so that we can distribute them to the children before the operation,” Dr. Altintas emphasized.

Over the past few years, plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery experts have saved many lives in developing countries by such projects, and this number is rising due to such projects as in Djibouti.
