Quick update from the surgical team

It's 6:50am here Saturday morning. We're heading out now for all sites--surgical team to the hospital in Orange Walk; construction teams to 2 villages; and village medical clinic to various sites.

Here's a quick update from the surgical team. Yesterday they met with 127 patients. All were screened and some treated. 42 surgeries are already scheduled for the next four days. There will likely be more. Those being operated on include a patient with facial cancer. Many with tonsillitis. Many in need of cleft palate and cleft lip repair. And a few hernias.

Look for another post around lunch time.
