Hydrocephalus at CURE Uganda on Kenyan Television

Recently on Kenyan television, this report was filed regarding the story of 3-year-old Milan Ochieng, a boy from Kenya whose father works for a telecommunications company in that country. Today, Milan is healthy and happy, but as an infant, his life was threatened by hydrocephalus.

His family crossed the border into Uganda to pursue the specialized treatment that CURE Uganda and the CURE Hydrocephalus program provide. For those who have never seen African television or who are interested in this issue, it’s a real treat to have this available on YouTube.

Building the foundation at CURE Uganda

For the past ten years, the CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda has grown and evolved. I’m certain that Dr. Scott Harrison and Dr. Ben Warf shared a vision for where this hospital might be in 2012, but I’m also confident the success of the mission in Uganda has surpassed everyone’s expectations. The statistics for the last decade alone are staggering: 40,000 children seen, nearly 10,000 life-saving surgeries provided, and more than 8,000 people with a closer relationship to God. Add in the advancements made towards the treatment of hydrocephalus and the impact CURE has made as a significant employer in Uganda, and it’s easy to understand why we’re proud of our team here.

This past year we hit our ceiling; we’re out of room. Read the rest of this entry »
