Dr. Tosan Ehanire to spend two weeks working with Liberia Medical Relief

(AUSTIN, TX – April 12, 2023) - Dr. Tosan Ehanire, an Austin-based board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, will spend two weeks this May using her expertise to help support Liberian nonprofit Liberia Medical Relief. Her primary focus will be providing reconstructive services to burn victims and skin cancer patients.

“There is a profound need for quality medical care and supplies in my mother's native country of Liberia,” says Ehanire. “I have a background in public health and health disparities, and I have always looked for opportunities to give back to underserved communities. As soon as I completed residency and was able to take the time, I jumped at the opportunity to volunteer at Liberia Medical Relief.”
