This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame met with Garreth Wood, Chairman of The Wood Foundation, and David Knoop, CEO of The Wood Foundation Africa. Their discussions focused on the Foundation’s longstanding partnership with Rwanda, including its investments in the tea sector, as well as the work of Kids Operating Room, the global health charity co-founded by Garreth and Nicola Wood to expand access to safe pediatric surgery.
This week the paediatric surgeons at Parirenyatwa helped a little patients with cancer in BOTH kidneys. Wilms tumor is one of the commonest cancers in children and usually affects one kidney. Paediatric surgeons, Dr Muparadzi and Dr Moyo led a team of specialists who managed to perform a nephron sparing operation on one kidney and a radical nephrectomy on the other kidney. This highly specialized operation, the first of its kind at Parirenyatwa Hospital, ensures that the child is free from cancer but still has enough normal kidney tissue to be able to survive without requiring dialysis. Although cancer is a devastating diagnosis for any family, with the proper care, children are able to recover and be cured. Hats off to the surgeons, anaesthetists and nursing staff at Parirenyatwa. And thank you to our friends, @KidsOperating for equipping the children's theatre at Parirenyatwa. Lives are being saved in this theatre.

Surgery un newborns requires specialized equipment, temperature controlled theatres, gentle nurses and highly trained anesthetic teams. We are grateful to our partners @KidsOperating who installed beautiful, well equipped theatres at Sally Mugabe Children’s Hospital. Our work is made easier as a result of your generous efforts.
