This is a remarkable achievement👍

[Jinja Regional Referral Hospital @JinjaRRH]

This year's Closed Heart Surgery camp registered the highest number of surgeries with 17 babies successfully operated on between 29th June and 3rd July.

Through this partnership, 8 surgeries were conducted in 2024 and 12 children received life saving surgeries last year.

In Uganda, too many children still battle preventable diseases. Prevention will always save more lives than treatment

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

Properly assess every child before ordering investigations. Every investigation should have a clear clinical indication

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

@muzukuluDr we must continue to fight HIV-related stigma in all its forms

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

More funding is needed to ensure that more children can access these life saving heart surgeries

[NBS Television @nbstv]

The concerns followed a medical camp in Jinja where 17 children underwent successful life-saving heart surgeries.

Hope & patience are powerful companions during the NICU journey

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

To every parent with a baby in the NICU: be strong & hold on to hope. Your love, your voice & your presence are an important part of your baby's care & every small step forward is a victory worth celebrating

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

@DrMutungaEA yeah, mistreatment may stop a behavior temporarily, but it often causes lasting emotional harm & weakens the parent–child relationship

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

Colostrum builds your baby's immune system & provides concentrated nutrition. Make sure you give your baby this precious "liquid gold"

[Mercy_RNtobe🩺 @MollyUntamed20]

Some cultures believe colostrum (the first breast milk) is "dirty" and should be thrown away.

What are the consequences of this belief?

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

The NICU is where science, skill & compassion meet

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

@ubctvuganda this is a remarkable milestone for uganda & a significant step forward in HIV prevention

Not all heroes wear capes; some wear NICU scrubs

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

Every heartbeat in the NICU is a victory worth celebrating

[Doctors For Children (Dfc) @docforchildren]

The best outcomes for preterm infants begin with consistent follow-up after discharge
