✨ Hope is the quiet voice that whispers “it’s possible” when everything feels lost.
This week, that hope is alive in our hospital and healing in our community—thanks to the incredible free surgical team from Medical Mission Foundation USA.

From plastic and reconstructive surgery to urology and general procedures, lives are being transformed. Burn survivors, children, and families are receiving care that once felt out of reach. The surgical camp is in full swing, with patients arriving in overwhelming numbers—each one carrying a story, each one seeking a new beginning.

We’re witnessing compassion in action. We’re witnessing healing. We’re witnessing hope.
