And the children keep coming

This week we are again hosting a team of pediatric surgeons from Maryland and California who have years of experience working in developing countries.  Even though Visitation Clinic doesn't yet have an operating room, the group was previously so impressed by our clinic and staff, that they wanted to use us for everything except the actual surgery.  This includes patient screening, lab work, pre-op meetings with the children and parents, and post-op follow up. 

Many of the children require ambulatory surgery for a variety of issues including umbilical hernias, hydroceles and undescended testis.  In the US, these conditions are common and are treated before children are a year old.   But in
Haiti, its a different story and we have a list of over sixty children who need help.
Right now, we are actively planning on adding a surgery and other hospital facilities.   You can help us write a new story for rural Haiti by donating here.
