This is Amon. He is a twin, when he was about nine years, he was “burned as a response to not following rituals at birth”. This did not look like a burn to us and he said no one hurt him and he firmly denied an injury, it just happened. Aha, this is the result of Noma “(cancrum oris) is an orofacial gangrene, which during its fulminating course causes progressive and mutilating destruction of the infected tissues. The disease occurs mainly in children with malnutrition, poor oral hygiene, and debilitating concurrent illness”. This is out of our scope requiring staging, two or three surgeries or steps. The team is motivated to help him, but Martin in particular, took on finding treatment for him elsewhere. He has been evaluated and it looks like he will have corrective surgery here in Africa. Our team is committed to this. Interested in helping him you could donate to Global Medical and Surgical Teams with a note to help support this and other efforts they have planned to change lives. #globalmedsurge
