Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberian Surgeons Dr. Edward Shaw and Gabriel Peal are in Liberia on a Medical Mission, offering absolutely free surgeries through the end of March.<\/p>\n

This is not the surgeons\u2019 first mission trip home. They have partnered with Harvest Ministries several times over the last few years, bringing relief to hundreds of people who are coming from as far away as Nimba and Grand Gedeh Counties.<\/p>\n

The surgeries will take place at the JFK Medical Center and Redemption Hospital in New Kru Town.<\/p>\n

Over a hundred surgeries alone were performed in 2022, most of them on males as young as 12 years old and many older adults suffering from hernias, some of them for several years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a gesture of love, and it\u2019s impossible not to respond to the needs of our own people when we can genuinely bring healing,\u201d says Dr. Shaw, who is based in Tennessee, United States.<\/p>\n

Drugs needed to facilitate the mission have been made through donations.<\/p>\n

In 2022, many in need of medical attention were turned away due to time constraints. This time around, the surgeons have extended their stay for longer and are accompanied by a dental team who will see patients throughout this week.<\/p>\n

Screening has been intense throughout this week, with patients arriving very early to take advantage of this opportunity.<\/p>\n
