We wanted to share the progress of two patients operated on our 2023 mission to Arusha, Tanzania. Both Innocent and Amina are doing well and finding a rhythm to their lives after joint replacement surgery.

Innocent
Tanzania 2023
“Every day I can do something new. I am excited to see what each day holds and continue to work on getting stronger and supporting my family. I’m happy to inform you that I have gotten work with a firm called RIGHT TO PLAY which deals with children’s development as a driver and logistics assistant. The work is a permanent job and I start next week.”

Amina
Tanzania 2023
Amina has returned to her teaching job and finds each day better than the last.
“You can see where I work, there are places that were difficult to walk-they were too high. It still can be a bit difficult, but I get better each day, and I am sure I will be excellent soon. I am so thankful to be back to my job at Anglia Primary School and to be with my students again.”
She has been in touch with her anesthesiologist, Dr. Johnathan Weiss, and keeps him updated on her progress.
“I have remained in contact with Amina since her knee replacement surgery in August. She returned to work several months ago and now walks and lives pain-free.”
Both stories help us to understand what joint replacement surgery can achieve and how our mission helps return normalcy, freedom, and confidence to each patient. Thank you Innocent and Amina for sharing your progress, we look forward to hearing from you soon.
