With the purpose of putting a smile on customers’ faces, Watsons Philippines began its partnership with Operation Smile nine years ago. READ:
P. Magee, Jr., a plastic surgeon, and his wife, Kathleen , a nurse and clinical social worker, traveled to the Philippines with a volunteer medical organization called Interplast upon the invitation of then Gov. Felix Fuentebella of Camarines Sur.
There were hundreds of parents with their children who had cleft lips and cleft palates but the group couldn’t operate on all because Interplast also handled other medical cases. It was heartbreaking. Today, Operation Smile is an international medical charity with a global network of thousands of medical volunteers, including doctors, nurses, and other personnel, from more than 80 countries dedicated to helping improve the health and lives of children and young adults from more than 60 countries.
