Connect survivors with medical professionals

We build relationships with healthcare providers and surgeons who work in geographic areas close to survivors so that survivors have broader options for reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. We are also developing medical teams that will travel to countries to provide surgeries and training in advanced burn care techniques.  Are you an acid attack survivor in need of surgeries?  Please contact us at medical@risecoalition.org to request a surgical candidate form.

Provide information on the medical implications of acid attacks

We’ve learned a lot in listening to acid attack survivors tell us about their treatment and recovery processes.  We wanted to share that information with you so that you get a sense for the long, arduous, and expensive journey most survivors undergo after their attack.  Please check out our Medical Information Page to learn more and sign up for updates on how you can help.
