Carmen will be able to live a normal life

in regards to the Carmen Sanchez case:

“The performance of such a complex, delicate surgery and high quality post-operative intensive care is the culmination of all we have built through CAMO,” said Tschiegg.  “This young woman’s condition is so rare that only a few surgeons would even attempt it and only in a U.S. hospital.  Carmen was too fragile to transfer to the U.S. but we knew she would die soon if we didn’t do something.  We were blessed with many surgeons and nurses who volunteered to take on the challenge of performing this surgery in Honduras.  Through private contributions, we were able to gather the surgical tools and ICU equipment that was necessary to save this woman’s life. By working together, Honduran surgeons helped perform a complex surgical procedure, the first in their country, and the nursing staff of both the private and public hospitals of Santa Rosa have now developed the capability for intricate post-surgical intensive care.  Most important, though, is that Carmen Sanchez will now be able to live a normal life.”
