Assorted medical conditions

Most of the medical conditions that go through our operating rooms haven't been seen in the developed world for the last century. I remember that my great uncle Jack (who grew up with a poor diet and little sunshine in an industrial mill town in Lancashire) had rickets, and since he died in the early 1980s I don't think I've seen another case in the UK. Anyway, here are some of the many cases that are found in West Africa in huge numbers, which we can rectify through the Africa Mercy's 6 operating rooms:

Above, badly formed bones (like rickets maybe?)

Above, more badly formed bones - bilateral club foot.

Above, tumour.

Above, this lady is recovering from a goitre removal operation.

Above, the mother of all hernias.

Above, tumour, I'm guessing.

Above, another tumour. This lady is one of Sally's patients and has had excercises to bring her lip back into shape. She will come back to the ship in August for a bone graft onto the titanium plate that has replaced her lower jaw.

Above, oro-nasal fistula.

Above, cleft lip and palate.
