Americans bring free surgery to Zimbabwe
Staff Reporter 30-10-08
Harare (ZimEye) A group of America volunteers have offered the green leaf to Zimbabwe's poverty stricken masses by bringing free surgical operation to the troubled country. The US volunteer surgical team, Operation of Hope, founded by Dr. Joseph Clawson, will be in Harare offering free surgeries for children and people afflicted with facial deformities.
Typical deformities include, but are not limited to, cleft-lip and cleft-palates. All potential cases will be evaluated by Operation of Hope Doctors on Sunday, November 2nd, 8am at the Harare Central Hospital in the pediatric ward.
This visit will be the fourth trip made by Operation of Hope dating back to October of 2006. The surgical team is very excited to once again help those in need and offering some relief to the families of Zimbabwe. If a candidate is selected for surgery, they will be placed on a surgery schedule that runs between November 3rd to November 14th. No age or location rules apply. Anyone from anywhere who can get to the hospital, with a facial deformity will be evaluated free of charge.
Zimbabwean abroad and many other well wishers have been urged to assist Operation of Hope through donations to their website www.operationofhope.org.
The free service by Operatio of Hope is seen as heaven on earth by many here. Millions of Zimbabweans are in dire need of health services which have become virtualy impossible to access and people have had to pay private doctors in foreign currency for medical treatment.
