Humanitarian Work
HOPE Medical Missions
In 2008, Dr. Chamata founded a not-for-profit organization, “HOPE Medical Missions,” at the University of Texas to establish medical trips for physicians and students to provide free medical care to the underserved in various countries.
Medical missions around the globe
Dr Chamata has been a part of the Crystal Foundation’s surgical mission trips to Mexico, performing reconstructive surgeries to fix cleft lip and palates, as well as other childhood deformities.
He has also participated in numerous medical trips to the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and several other countries. During these missions, hundreds of patients are treated in temporary hospitals built from the ground up, supplied with medications and medical equipment from the United States.
The rewards of giving back
Some of the most rewarding times in Dr. Chamata’s medical career are directly due to giving back to communities in need. He hopes to continue active participation in yearly trips to provide medical and surgical care such as cleft lip and palate reconstruction, burn reconstruction, and much more.
