Do you remember Hassan? A few months back we introduced you to this 10-year-old boy, who was admitted to LHMC in serious condition. Typhoid fever had caused him to perforate his intestines and he had lost a lot of weight in a short time. Donated ostomy bags and financial support enabled us to stabilize him and refer him to Masanga Hospital, where a surgeon specialized in major abdominal surgery works.
The operation and subsequent recovery went well! He has now returned home, but not before visiting LHMC. It was a good thing his father didn't leave his side, otherwise we would hardly have recognized Hassan! Our great thanks to the donors who made this entire process (including the aftercare that follows) possible for Hassan.
