Thankyou For Saving Nelson Safari
We cannot thank you enough for helping us save Nelson Safari.
He is just 9-months-old and was suffering from Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a congenital heart defect. Our team of doctors, currently on a medical mission to Kenya, treated Nelson for this congenital heart defect on Monday.
Nelson now has an opportunity of living a normal life, and our donors and supporters are at the heart of the life-saving opportunity. Thank you once again for your support.
About Kenya Deployment
The mission started on the 13th and will continue until 17th December at Coast General hospital Mombasa.
We are aiming to treat 30-40 children during this deployment.
During our first deployment in Kenya, our team carried out 35 interventions earlier in July 2021.
"During our first mission, we found that there is a greater need for such deployments in Kenya. Mombasa is home to over a million people with no paediatric interventional care available to children. Our long-term objective is to build human resources capacity in Kenya so that local doctors can carry out these interventions, " said Kabir Miah, Programmes Manager at Muntada Aid.
