Liberate Nshimirimana, our patient from Burundi, who had suffered from severe hip joint damage for years, was able to undergo successful surgery in Nairobi thanks to your donations.
On 1 June 2011, the first operation took place, during which her right hip joint was replaced with an endoprosthesis. The operation on the left side was carried out two weeks later, following a recovery period and physiotherapy rehabilitation.
During her stay, Mr Daniel Mugasa acted as an interpreter and took the patient into his home after she was discharged from hospital. On 28 June 2011, Liberate returned to her home country of Burundi, where she is currently receiving further physiotherapy treatment. She was joyfully welcomed at the airport by her family, particularly her five children, who were able to see their mother for the first time without walking aids and already considerably more mobile. All (long-term, expensive) pain medication has since been discontinued!
Many thanks to the donors for this example of swift and unbureaucratic help!
