Story

Dear Friends, Liebe Freunde und Unterstützer

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

Vielen Dank dass Sie sich etwas Zeit nehmen, um sich über die geplante Mission zu informieren.

In collaboration with the European Hernia Society and the American College of Surgeons we are planning an Operation Hernia mission in July 2011 to Takoradi in southern Ghana. As a humanitarian act we, a complete operating team of volunteers from Berlin will operate patients with no access to any health insurance on their groin hernias.  We want to use the donated money for the complete OR-equipment, medicaments, meshes an OR-instruments. As well it is our goal to train the domestic surgeons.

Mit Hilfe der Organisation Operation Hernia der Europäischen Herniengesellschaft (EHS) und dem American College of Surgeons  planen wir (ein komplettes Operationsteam aus der Havelklinik - Berlin) für Juli 2011 einen humanitären Einsatz in Takoradi (Süd-Ghana). Im Rahmen dieser Mission werden wir dort vor allem Leistenbrüche bei Patienten operieren, die ansonsten keinen Zugang zu einer Krankenversicherung haben. Wir benötigen Spenden für das gesamte Operationsequipment einschließlich der zu verwendenden Herniennetze, Nahtmaterialien und Medikamente. Gleichzeitig wollen wir im Rahmen dieses Einsatzes die einheimischen Chirurgen in der modernen Hernienchirurgie ausbilden.

Many thanks for your donations!

Vielen Dank für Ihre großzügigen Spenden!
