photos - various - part 6

Sometimes mothers come with their babies who have illnesses. WHO (World Health Organization) sponsors a free program for children under 2 years of age at Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare Hospital. The consultation, lab tests and xrays are free of charge. The only thing that wasn't provided was the medicine but we were able to help the mother in purchasing it. Pray for healing for this baby.
Sometimes the babies end up being hospitalized. This baby had breathing problems and we brought mother and child to the Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare Hospital and they put the baby right away on oxygen. After a couple of weeks the baby was discharged healthy from the hospital. The mother came over to visit and to say thank you. The best reward in living in Haiti is seeing people get help!
This man had a large cyst/tumor on his neck. We helped him get to the PIH hospital in Cange and they did surgery to remove the mass. Bernard Mevs/Project Medishare helped him out with the follow-up/dressing changes.
Sometimes mothers come in search of help for their children and there is no doctor here in Haiti that can help . This was the case for this young girl.
She was born with a vaginal deformity which will cause her problems as she develops. We are searching for medical care for her in the United States. Pray for Betshcaida, that a hospital can be found to provide for her care free of charge and that we can get the necessary paperwork done to enable her to travel.
