As the word is getting around more and more children are attending the first consultation day of the mission ,on Monday October 15 over 80 families were present ,a real crowd.
During their long working hours from 8 am to often 6 pm the medical KDD team ( anesthésistes Rob Steur and Janine Dorresteijn operation assistent Karin Holland and orthopedic chirurgiens Jan Vermeiren and Dick van der Schaaf ) succeeded in collaboration with the very active local Burkina Be team interventions of 43 children.
Notwithstanding this effort a waiting list of over 10 children was left behind but will be taken care of the next mission planned 24 February till 8 March 2019.
No students were attending this time due to their program but they should be present during our next visit.
Early March 2019 KDD will visit Bamako s centre des handicapé and dr Kire Almamy in order to prospect how we can contribute to the well being malien children in need of orthopedic chirurgie.
Once again KDD thanks all players on operational side logistal assistance and sponsors to make this all happen again and again for the benefit of these children who are so numerous in need of medical assistance and would not be on their feet without the generous effort they are providing.
