Tuesday saw the arrival of a team of surgeons, including our medical director, Dr. Pablo Salamea, to the small village of Taisha at the edge of the Amazon. At the request of Ecuador's Vice President and health officials, this team is providing medical care and surgeries to 42 individuals. The residents of Taisha have never before been afforded access to such high quality medical care.
Due to the limited seating on the small plane we were unable to go on this mission.
Dr. Pablo and his team performed 15 surgeries in 2 1/2 days.
Taisha, and indeed, Ecuador, is blessed to have such a group of skilled doctors willing to volunteer their time and skills to the less fortunate in their country.
