Then the surgeons have to intervene
A young woman from southern Peru. Who would like to swap places with her? Bitter poverty and no parents. But chronic bleeding and severe colicky abdominal pain. The colonoscopy revealed hundreds of polyps of all sizes. Yesterday, our surgeons Dr. Hilbert de Vries (Dutch) and Dr. Lukas Steffen (Swiss) removed the entire colon endoscopically.
The missionary hospital’s charity fund covers most of the costs. Now the patient’s life can go on. Without bleeding, without pain and without the constant fear of cancer.
