HELPING has a medical fund which pays for treatment for sponsored children and their families when necessary. However, the Gambian health care system has limited facilities and being such a small country, difficult cases often need to be treated in other countries who have suitably experienced specialists.
This
is Abdoulie Sarr, one of our ex-sponsor children who has a paranasal tumour.
There is no treatment available for his condition in Gambia. We have already sent him to the hospitals in neighbouring Senegal but there is no surgeon there with the expertise to operate on him.
However, we are told his condition is operable if a suitable surgeon can be found elsewhere. We are making enquiries to try and find a doctor who can treat Abdoulie as he
is in a lot of pain and cannot sleep.
If anyone has any idea how we can secure treatment for Abdoulie, please email
Thank you.
