Here in the U.S., surgery has become incredibly advanced. Robotic-assisted procedures, laparoscopic tools, and high-resolution imaging have transformed outcomes—making surgeries faster, safer, and recovery quicker.
But in many parts of the developing world where FAME serves, even basic x-ray access is rare.
One FAME partner hospital in the Philippines is beginning to change that. It is stepping ahead of both government and private
hospitals in the area. Because of its partnership with FAME, this hospital is now beginning the process of approval and funding (more on that soon!) for a Diagnostic Center. The national Health Department has recognized this hospital’s capacity to lead the way in medical care.
Recently, FAME acquired and shipped a portable x-ray unit to this hospital. With it, Dr. Tumaru performed the hospital’s first x-ray-guided gallbladder surgery—removing the gallbladder and repairing damage with accuracy and care.
And this isn’t just any hospital. It’s one of your FAME partner hospitals with a vibrant and effective Chaplaincy Department—where every patient hears the gospel.
Because of you, patients are not only being treated in the name of Jesus—they’re also hearing the name of Jesus. This advanced, compassionate hospital stands as a beacon of hope in its community—and you are part of making that possible.
