CRC student surgically treated for hernia at Mercy Hospital

Mohamed and his mother are grateful for the care he received at Mercy Hospital.

Child Reintegration Centre student Mohamed Kamara underwent a successful bilateral hernia surgery at Mercy Hospital.  While Mohamed was recovering, the CRC provided additional support to the family, including a cash gift and a 25 kg bag of rice.   

Children in the developing world often suffer from hernias, which may be the result of a congenital weakness in the abdominal muscles, or caused by severe coughing that leads to increased abdominal pressure. Left untreated, umbilical and inguinal hernias can lead to severe health complications in children.

Mohamed attends St. Andrews Secondary School, where he is in class SS3.  Mohamed is currently not sponsored. If you would like to sponsor this deserving student, please email us at support@helpingchildrenworldwide.org.
