Patients Benefit As LHS Nyahururu Conducts Urological Surgical Camp
Sixty-two patients benefited from a three-day surgical camp conducted at LHS Nyahururu in partnership with Kenya Association of Urological Surgeons (KAUS).
The camp targeted those suffering from various urological-related complications such as urological malformations undescended testis, urinary problems, fistulas, abdominal problems in pediatrics, urethra blockage, prostate cancer, and kidney stones.
30 surgeries were done in pediatrics medicine for those under 18 years, while the rest involved 30 males and 2 females. The surgical camp made it possible for patients to access the listed urological-related treatments at an affordable cost.
Ibrahim Wainaina from Subukia IDP camp was one of the beneficiaries after the LHS Nyahururu waived his medication bill. Speaking during the camp, the 78 years old said it was a relief after successful surgery for Transurethral Resection (TURP) of the prostate procedure.
The camp also benefited patients from other counties such as a 10 years old boy from Tana River who had been having problems in passing urine after he was involved in a car accident. His mother Nurkta Ali couldn't hide her joy after the son underwent a successful urethroplasty surgery.
She said they have been seeking treatment from various hospitals until last month when they were referred to LHS Nyahururu for Urological medical camp.
KAUS team applauded LHS Nyahururu medical team and staff members for the highly recommendable teamwork, cooperation, and preparedness portrayed during the entire surgeries.
All patients who were attended are recuperating well and half of them have been discharged before the closure of the camp.
