Today, 20-year-old Zewdinesh became Healing Valves Ethiopia 39th patient to receive free, life-saving open-heart surgery.
Her voice is soft and her body frail, yet every word she speaks carries remarkable strength. Her heart condition developed after recurrent, untreated tonsillitis, an illness that could have been prevented with timely care.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Marla and her family, whose generous support makes this mission possible.
Under the leadership of Fekede Agwar and our dedicated volunteer surgical team, Mitral Valve replacement was successfully completed. Zewdinesh is now in immediate post-operative care, beginning her journey to recovery.
