The organization Doctors Without Borders Brazil published a news item about the nomination of surgeon Alexandre Charão — then affiliated with MSF — for O Globo's 2006 “Faz a Diferença” (Makes a Difference) Award.
According to the MSF publication, the recognition highlights humanitarian work on international missions, in settings of crisis and highly complex surgical need — a formative stage that Dr. Charão's own professional background records as part of his path before he established his plastic surgery practice in Rio de Janeiro.
