The June 2018 San Donato Policlinic Pediatric open heart surgical mission have come and gone. The surgeries commenced on Monday June 04th, 2018 with a total of 16 children admitted for surgery. By the end of Thursday June 07th, 2018, the team from San Donato Policlinic Italy working together with the Shisong Cardiac Center's resident team had successfully operated 11 children. This was a significant milestone for the Center and the families of the children operated, as they left the Cardiac Center happy and praising God for this wonderful miracle that had brought hope to the lives of their children. The remaining 5 unoperated children were sent home, some to come back in our subsequent pediatric missions.
While we prepare for the upcoming Pediatric Mission in September, the resident team continues with the open heart surgery for adult patients. 10 patients have been shortlisted and their surgeries will commence on Monday July 02, 2018.
We express our sincere thanks and gratitude to all who continue to assist the underprivileged patients undergo for surgery. Seeing the joy on every families face after a ursuccessful surgery, our greatest wish would be to assist every cardiac patient undergo for surgery but many of these children and adult cardiac patients suffer in agony and end up death without a chance at surgery.
