Earlier this week, baby Egrance was discharged after a successful brain surgery to treat hydrocephalus at CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda.

For months, her mother, Elizabeth, searched for answers as her baby’s head continued to grow. That journey of faith led them to CURE, where Egrance finally received the life-saving neurosurgical care she needed.

Now, Elizabeth’s heart is full of gratitude. Because of your prayers and support, more vulnerable children like Egrance can find hope and healing.

The Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with Choroid Plexus Cauterization (ETV/CPC) procedure, pioneered at CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda, continues to transform how hydrocephalus, a life-threatening condition affecting thousands of infants across Africa, is treated.

Unlike traditional shunt surgery, which depends on a tube that can easily block or become infected, ETV/CPC provides a safer and more lasting solution by creating a natural fluid pathway within the brain and reducing excess fluid production. Among those advancing this life-saving innovation is Dr. Lydia Nanjura, a neurosurgeon from Mengo Hospital currently training at CURE Uganda under the CURE Neuro Fellowship. Her hands-on experience in this specialized procedure represents a crucial step in building capacity and expanding access to high-quality neurosurgical care across the region.

Through such training initiatives, CURE Uganda is not only healing vulnerable children but also equipping the next generation of neurosurgeons, ensuring that the fight against hydrocephalus is sustained and strengthened across the world.

Meet Shallom, a young girl whose story reminds us what faith, good medical care, and family love can do.

She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus in 2015 and brought to CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda by her parents, who trusted that God would heal their daughter. It was not an easy road. Shallom went through three major surgeries, an ETV, ventricle irrigation, reservoir placement, and later a shunt after the first procedure failed. There were moments of pain, fear, and readmissions. But through it all, her mother stayed strong, supported by other mothers in the ward and the caring CURE doctors and nurses who stood with them in prayer and treatment.

Years later, Shallom’s health has greatly improved. She still goes for follow-up visits, but she is doing very well. She is now in Primary Five, performing excellently in school and enjoying reading and writing. Her bright spirit and confidence show just how far she has come.

Last weekend, Shallom joined hundreds of runners at the CURE Brain Surgery Run in Mbale, a moment that brought her story full circle. Seeing her healthy and smiling among the crowd was a reminder of why we run each year: to help more children like her get the care they need.

Her story is a message to every parent and caregiver: don’t lose hope. With timely treatment, love, and support, children with neurological conditions can recover and live full lives.

We celebrate Shallom’s progress and pray that she continues to grow strong, healthy, and full of joy.
