N2 - In August-September 1998 an Italian medical team, composed of a plastic surgeon, an anaesthesiologist, an infectious diseases specialist and a psychologist, assisted by a local non-government organization (Narripokkho), studied a cohort of Bangladeshi women injured by sulphuric acid. The goals of the mission were: (1) recognition of the magnitude of the phenomenon of acid being intentionally thrown at women; (2) evaluation of the type and severity of burns; (3) preparation of a tentative schedule of surgical treatment of the lesions; (4) organization of local facilities; (5) training of doctors and nurses.
