Stories Of Hope
Director(s): Jonathan Knepper
In 2018, a team of doctors and surgeons travelled to a small remote city in Ghana called Yendi to help support the hospital that serves over 130,000 people from villages near and far.
This hospital in Yendi employs one surgeon who is overrun by the cases of disease, injuries, and many needs of this large area he is there to support. The hospital lacks basic equipment and training to help meet these needs. Currently, they are being supported by this same team that travelled and operated for two weeks through technological advances. iPads were left behind, and using these tablets they can contact skilled, trained doctors and nurses in the U.S. when a need arises. Additionally, hospitals and medical supply companies in the U.S. are becoming involved to help supply medical equipment and training to further support the large needs.
Hope is being brought back into this community and impacting countless lives through medicine and people like Mustapha who are committed to Yendi.
