Editor,THIS IS in response to the article, "Rwandans to get free facial plastic surgery”, (The New Times, February 6, 2013). The surgery is being carried out by a seven-man delegation from ‘Face the Future Mission’ and are specialised in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery from some of the most reputable health facilities such as John Hopkins Hospital and Wilford Hall Military Centre. The surgeries are being conducted at King Faisal Hospital and Kanombe Military Hospital.This is great news for Rwandans. I am wondering whether this service could be extended to those Rwandans who sustained injuries and facial deformities caused by the (1994) Genocide against the Tutsi.These people were not born with conditions that caused them to look different. Most of them are still living with major scars that are physically and psychologically visible, and it is difficult for them to move on and be able to give it another shot in this life. I am lucky that my own physical scars were corrected though I am still working to heal the emotional and psychological scars. But what about my fellow survivors? I really hope that they get this chance to benefit from this amazing opportunity.Theodora Rugambwa, London, UK
