When you live in a rural community, having surgery often means a long, costly recovery that keeps you away from work and family for weeks. Thanks to the Mina Fund, that has changed at Broadwell Christian Hospital.
As explained by Visiting General Surgeon Dr. Alexander, the donated laparoscopic unit allows doctors to perform complex procedures using minimally invasive techniques—often called 'keyhole surgery.'
The advantages are clear and profound:
Less Injury & Pain: The patient experiences far less surgical trauma compared to traditional 'open' surgery [00:31].
Rapid Recovery: Patients recover faster and can return to work sooner, minimizing lost income for the family [00:37].
Lower Costs: The procedure requires fewer drugs and antibiotics, lowering the overall cost for both the patient and the hospital [00:41].
This investment in advanced laparoscopic technology is part of our drive to bring cutting-edge medical services to rural India, transforming patient outcomes and empowering communities.
