Press Review

During these very difficult months for all of us we have been working for the future of Cute project, have kept in touch with our African colleagues and sent some personal protective equipment. We have started again the educational workshops with Cuty Firephant in schools in Piedmont, to teach children to prevent burns as well as the pro-bono clinic project at Sermig in Turin. We have edited a wonderful book with the pictures taken by the artist Monica Carrocci together with the texts written by the writer and journalist Gian Luca Favetto who both were with us in the Mission Uganda 2019. We will present the book in future exibitions dedicated to the event. The training missions in Recontructive Plastic Surgery in Africa and possibly in South America will be carried on as soon as possible. All together with Cute!!

The personal protective equipment sent by Cute Project arrived in Uganda at Fort Portal, to continue to remain near the Regional Referral Hospital team in all possible ways!

SUBJECT: Report of the mission at Fort Portal – Uganda from 02 November to16 December 2019. #LET’S GET TO 1000 GENERAL INFORMATION This last mission is a turning point as for Cute Project Onlus and its growth. In fact it is the twelfth mission of our Onlus since its birth in 2012, but above all this mission let us get over 1000 patients treated. #LET’S GET TO 1000 is a real hashtag, an objective hidden in years of voluntary work for this project. The project intented to continue to respond to the demand of training and health assistance in plastic surgery regarding in particular burns and their outcomes, as per a specific request from Dr. Charles Olaro,  General Director of Referral General Hospital of Fort Portal in  2016 and renewed by the new  General Director  Florence Tugumisirize. Cute Project Onlus has already carried out four missions at Fort Portal, in 2015, 2016, 2017and 2018. Cute Project Onlus, with the help of Waldensian Church, has planned and fulfilled the new mission of this year with the aim of continuing providing free theoretical and practical training to the local staff in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery; we still had our 5 training objectives addressed to local staff, which were to be fulfilled in this mission:Surgery in operatory room (with 3 posts , two for  general anesthesia and one for local anesthesia) Activities in ward together with local medical staff. Management of medications for severe burns and post-surgery patients. Classes for local staff. Making of pressure garments for the treatment of scars. The project Uganda 2019 by Cute Project Onlus has developed  through the training of local personnel  who have carried on the treatments and medications after departure of our mission and will continue to sort out the patients for our next mission in 2020.The group Cute Project  Bruno De Benedetti have worked very well throughout the whole year so that we have decided to renew our support not only to Dr. Edris Kalanzi and nurse  Proscovia Nakulenge but also to nurse  Doreen Uwera, who have been particularly distinctive in their commitment for the   fulfilment of the mission and above all  in carrying on a project for the medications to patients as well as for the making of pressure garments  beneficial in  scars from burns. In this mission Cute Project Onlus team was composed of: – Dr. Daniele Bollero – Plastic  Surgeon and Mission Responsible  (ITALY)  – Dr. Alessandro Innocenti – Plastic Surgeon (ITALY) – Dr. Edris Kalanzi – Plastic Surgeon (UGANDA) – Dr. Mosaab Zaidi – Plastic Surgeon (LIBIA)   – Dr.ssa  Ivana Hrdlikova – Pediatrician  Surgeon (SLOVENIA) – Dr.ssa Patricia Visconti – Anesthetist (ITALY) – Dr. Luca Sivera –Anesthetist (ITALY) – Dr.ssa Silvia Berutti– Nephrologist (ITALY) – Loredana Silivestro – Instrumentalist  Nurse (ITALY) –  Margherita Deideri –  Instrumentalist  Nurse (ITALY) – Dorina Caldarescu –Professional Nurse (ROMANIA) – Jennifer Blenkisop – Occupational Physiotherapist (SOUTH AFRICA) Cute Project has bought and provided the health materials necessary for the fulfilment of the surgery mission.

The chain of solidarity does not stop! Thanks to this magnificent group of women led by Simona: “granata” masks and not ❤️! They worked without sparing themselves to create masks and hats and today they give them to us to send them also to Africa!

A low-tech visor that can be reused over time, not only for hospital practice but for the everyday, so that our “colleagues” in the countries where we operate, then in turn will be the disseminators of this initiative is our new training objective !
