Bangladesh 2019 - T H A N K Y O U
Dear friends, sponsors and representatives of surgical medical devices,
I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your invaluable help with procuring equipment, supplying essential surgical items, and your support with packing and listing these items. Equipment, discounts on travel, surgical instruments, bandages, sterilisation of bandages, sutures, creams, medication, anaesthesia equipment, bags, small toys for children and pencils for adults.
In total, we operated on 35 patients, mainly women and children, who were suffering from sequelae from burns that did not initially receive primary treatment, and a few cases of tumours. Very serious cases could not be treated, but these are being looked at in the capital Dhaka, and then it is likely they will be treated in Canada. The procedures went smoothly and the initial results are very promising. They are functional results that make a big difference.
We also saw very difficult life situations and domestic violence. We will continue our work and will endeavour to achieve prevention and disseminate information in this area too.
There are no words to describe the experience and I thank you all for your help with the 102 kilograms of material and in particular for your support for everyone.
Dr. M.-C. G.-M.
