Last week Trustee Sue heard the latest news from Project Manager Evas:
Jones from the Project Team took Abias, one of the spine patient children, up to Kampala last week as his stitches had got infected - they have given him antibiotics for this.
Two other spine patients need to be reviewed on November 8th in Kampala by the Ugandan surgeon who is working for the American charity ‘Ugandan Charitable Spine Mission’.
8 heart patients and 8 carers went up to Kampala for diagnosis recently. 2 children (aged 6 and 16 have multiple holes in their hearts and the prognosis is very bad, even an operation is unlikely to help.) 1 may need mitral valve surgery, and there are others who are being short listed for help from Chain of Hope.
The Project have a growing number of children with cleft lip and palates and are planning another plastic surgery ‘camp’ at CoRSU hospital in February.
A Mission Direct team recently had a good visit and were able to see a lot of children cared for by the Project. They saw our ‘heart conditions group’, Abias, as well as children with hydrocephalus and spina bifida, and also the 2 children who need colostomy bags, and they are keen to help.
