Most hospitals continue to lack training in modern orthopedic surgery and therapy.
They also lack the necessary equipment to make braces and to provide physical therapy. When these techniques are learned, they are often not shared with those who provide care in less well equipped medical facilities in rural areas. This visit is the latest in a series of visits by this team to train medical personnel at Second People's Hospital. As in the past, the team has also gathered and shipped a large amount of medical equipment and supplies, much of it donated. As has also been the case in the past, the team anticipates being able to share the love of Jesus in action and attitude as they demonstrate care and compassion to children and teens through the training they offer.
