After nearly a year and a half of planning, praying, and preparing the ConnectMed medical mission to Malawi is now complete! What an amazing blessing this team of surgeons, doctors, nurses, and volunteers was to the people of Malawi. 40 children and adults had their lives forever changed thanks to the cleft lip/cleft palate repairs that were able to be completed. Because this is the hardest time of the year in Malawi there were many prospective patients who were unable to receive surgery due to malnutrition, malaria, sickness, etc. Thankfully we have a database that will allow us to contact these patients when other surgery opportunities come available. ConnectMed is even desiring to make a return trip to Malawi in August of 2014! To God be the Glory great things HE has done!
Here is the final walkthrough by Dr. Gosman, Dr. Rho, and the nurses. They were checking on the patients, the incisions, and answering any final questions before releasing them to return to their village.
Mothers and children expectantly waiting for the doctor's release!
