Good progress has been made so far this week, with 4 heart surgeries already completed. Ian sent us this update:
CNN are doing a feature, they have just been in theatre filming – it will be a three minute slot (not on a news programme) probably something on Africa or medicine. We operated on another patient this morning – an 8 yr old boy who is fine and they are currently in surgery with a ten year old girl. We will take a break tomorrow and operate on a baby on Friday.
Actually tomorrow we have a visiting team of ENT surgeons from New York who are doing some procedures under Hope Ward and teaching ENT residents from Mulago at the same time so it is a busy week in theatre.
