Hopes for the better for the eleven year old girl who has been struggling with fistula for seven years seems to be ticking positively towards success of the fistula operation she is going through at Mwaiwathu hospital in Blantyre .

After the first operation which was carried out last month came out successfully, glory was back gain last Thursday at Kabula ward at the hospital where the girl is lying after the second operation came out successful.

Mwaiwathu hospital gynecologist Dr. Edgar Kuchingale who is carrying the operation confirmed the success of the operation.

“Things are just going on okey,the operation was successful and the girl is responding well that I am optimistic that the last operation will be a success as well,”he said.

According to Kuchingale the girl is expected to be in hospital for a week while healing.

The second operation involved the repair of the anal and vaginal canals and after healing will pave way for close colostomy which will involve transplanting the temporary rectum to its normal place.

In a telephone interview from Mwaiwathu, mother of the girl said she is happy that the second operation has come out again successful and added that she is now optimistic that the girl will be fine again.

“I am happy, my girl is responding well and doctors are doing their best ,I must appreciate and above all my great honour should go to Mr. Price who are sponsoring the operation,” said the woman stammering in excitement.

International business operator who are sponsoring the operation Mr. Price chief Executive officer Debbie Eve said her organization is happy with the progress of the operation and said they are leaving no any stone unturned to ensure the whole operation is successful.

“We are committed and we will provide all necessary assistance that may be needed so that the girl retains her normal health,” she said.
