This week the paediatric surgeons at Parirenyatwa helped a little patients with cancer in BOTH kidneys. Wilms tumor is one of the commonest cancers in children and usually affects one kidney. Paediatric surgeons, Dr Muparadzi and Dr Moyo led a team of specialists who managed to perform a nephron sparing operation on one kidney and a radical nephrectomy on the other kidney. This highly specialized operation, the first of its kind at Parirenyatwa Hospital, ensures that the child is free from cancer but still has enough normal kidney tissue to be able to survive without requiring dialysis. Although cancer is a devastating diagnosis for any family, with the proper care, children are able to recover and be cured. Hats off to the surgeons, anaesthetists and nursing staff at Parirenyatwa. And thank you to our friends, @KidsOperating for equipping the children's theatre at Parirenyatwa. Lives are being saved in this theatre.

Surgery un newborns requires specialized equipment, temperature controlled theatres, gentle nurses and highly trained anesthetic teams. We are grateful to our partners @KidsOperating who installed beautiful, well equipped theatres at Sally Mugabe Children’s Hospital. Our work is made easier as a result of your generous efforts.

Humbled to be invited to sit at the table with philanthropists and influential people including documentary maker, Sarah Masiyiwa; @KidsOperating founder Gareth Wood and crypto entrepreneur @carlmoon . All these minds coming together to come up with ways of improving access to surgical care to children. It was inspiring to listen to how genuine the passion to provide real solutions to the healthcare challenges of children all around the world. In a world where there is so much chaos, we can all come together around this table and work towards improving healthcare for children everywhere. @KidsOperating is a charity worth supporting. Whether you have ten dollars, ten thousand or ten million dollars, your donation will be used towards equipping theaters, training surgeons, funding research and saving thousands of lives.
