17 year old Zainab was suffering from severe abdominal pain, which was diagnosed as an inguinal hernia.  Surgery was performed to repair the hernia and Zainab recovered fully.  Her family were overwhelmed with gratitude for the prompt intervention and the kindness of the staff.  During treatment, it was discovered that Zainab was also suffering from typhoid, which the staff treated with drugs. ​

19 year old Isata was admitted suffering from severe abdominal pain, which was diagnosed as acute appendicitis.  Her appendix was successfully removed and she recovered.  Isata was in the examination hall when appendicitis struck.  Fast-thinking friends rushed her to the hospital. 

Jeneba was admitted for vaginal bleeding and diagnosed with ovarian cyst and fibroids.  During surgery it was discovered that her ovaries were severely damaged, requiring the removal of one.  Jeneba is doing much better post-surgery, and in gratitude, promised to name her first child Mercy. 

Sesay, age 18, collapsed and was not breathing when her family brought her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with severe anemia caused by malaria and typhoid.   The Mercy statistician donated a unit of blood which was administered, and she made a full recovery.  Her family was amazed at how quickly she recovered after receiving a transfusion. 

Lucinda, a university student, went into labor during exams.  She delivered a healthy baby girl at the hospital and was able to successfully complete her exams after recovery.  Her family thanked the Mercy team for a great job delivering the baby, and Lucinda expressed her appreciation for the staff’s skill.
