Successful surgeries at Tzu Ch’s 283rd medical mission in Zamboanga Sibugay

Even the simplest surgical procedure can set you back by tens of thousands of pesos. That’s why many flocked to the Dr. George T. Hofer Medical Center in Zamboanga Sibugay to avail of the free surgical treatments of Tzu Chi’s 283rd medical mission from August 14-16. In three days, 82 patients underwent surgeries for hernia, hydrocoele, varicoele, and goiter excision (for non-toxic and non-CA goiter cases) conducted by volunteer doctors of Tzu Chi International Medical Association (TIMA), while 36 patients availed of Jaipur prosthesis services. The transformation from these procedures goes beyond physical. “I really want to go abroad, but it's not possible because of my goiter,” said Beverly Juablar just before her surgery. “I’m happy,” she added as she wiped away tears of joy. “You’re removing my problem.”
