Dr. Williams and Tabula, our first patient in Morijo in 2001. Her tumor was operated on and 50% of it removed. She was scheduled to have the second surgery in 2006 to complete its removal. Upon arrival at the Kijabe Hospital, there was no ENT surgeon available and she was sent home. Such are the problems in third world hospitals. We hope to find her a place for treatment in Nairobi this year. Medicines are much needed in this part of Kenya. The World Health Organization estimates that there are only 2.2 dentists per 100,000 population in Kenya. The Morijo area has no local dentists. |
