The objective of the mission has been to provide free surgical coverage economically disadvantaged patients. This mission wassuccessfully completed between August 20 and September 3 2005, having made a total of 61 major surgical procedures.

The most frequent interventions were the sequelae of burns and trauma. There have been many interventions in pediatric patients with severe burn scarring and genital malformations. Adult patients have presented many sequelae of trauma in limbs, most of them not having received any previous treatment.

Las intervenciones más frecuentes han sido las secuelas de quemaduras y traumatismos. Se han realizado numerosas intervenciones en pacientes pediátricos con graves secuelas cicatriciales de quemaduras y malformaciones congénitas genitales.

AMBULANCIA DONATED BY THE FOUNDATION

The Bungoma District Hospital is a health center with minimal budgets. There are two theaters available, but are not fully equipped. There were power outages throughout various times. Especially critical was the last patient operated, in which surgery the electrical generator failed and we had to extubate the patient lanterns lit. The District Hospital has only one operating room.

The most common pathology was congenital genital malformations (hypospadias), burns, tumors and sequelae of trauma.
