We are delighted to advise that Mpho was operated on by a team of doctors and two specialists, one of whom flew to South Africa from London. The rest of the team consisted of another doctor, two anethetists and a special technician. During the operation, which took place at Linksfield clinic and which lasted for over four hours, the specialists fitted two implants into his skull immediately behind where his ears are, These implants will now be left for six months, and then if all goes well, will be exposed under anesthetic so that hearing aids can be attached which will then apparently give him excellent hearing ability. The entire operation was done free of charge by everyone concerned. We cannot believe the generosity of all the doctors, hospital etc and we are extremely grateful that little Mpho has been given this opportunity.
