Junita

She is seven months old and has had more pain than any child should endure. Junita was injured in a hot oil accident. Her face, scalp, arms and upper chest. She was diagnosed with a 25% to 50% chance to survive the accident. Her mother ,who was also injured in the accident, brought her to our clinic in Kusuri asking for help.

She needed skin grafts and had little time to waist. The staff made the decision to transport her and her mother to a Bethesda Hospital on the island of Kalimantan. She was escorted by one of the doctors and arrived safe. This is a long and grueling trip for someone in her condition. She had er first surgery and is now stable. Her life was spared but more surgeries will be required to prevent more damage.
