KCMC April 2024

At the beginning of April, Dr. Einar Eriksen spent one week in Moshi, where he joined the team at the Burn Unit at KCMC 🏨🔥
It was a valuable and busy stay where he operated 7 patients. All the patients had major wounds and injuries. Some patients were hospitalized with injuries that were several years old, while Jesica, a 12-month-old girl, was seriously burned in a kitchen accident in February.
Jessica’s entire face and scalp had been burned and unfortunately, during the surgeries, the staff had to amputate several of her fingertips, all of which had become necrotic. Jesica had surgery twice during Einar’s stay and she still needs more surgeries, including reconstructing her eyelids.
Thank you for helping children like Jesica get a second chance at life. Together we can make a difference ❤
