AN INSPIRING WEEK COMES TO A CLOSE
The last day of surgery at “ Don Manuel
Lopez Memorial District Hospital” in Batangas comes to a close. The week has been exhausting but
successful with 112 operations being performed. Many of the children require at least
one operation, but sometimes sequential consecutive surgery until the defect is
totally repaired.
We would like to take this opportunity
to thank the entire team on the Mission for their engagement and support.
Specialists from Germany, New Zealand, Australia and Abu Dhabi worked together
to ensure success. As long as the entire team pulls together with the same
objective, then in the short time available, excellent qualified outcomes
result.
We were able to provide so many children
with a new perspective for their future through surgery. They are now able to
communicate more easily, feeding is no longer an issue, and in their social
interactions they are free of the stigmata surrounding their appearance before
surgery.
We are thankful to discharge these
children into the future with a confident smile!
