Solomons mother thanks doctors

The mother of a four-month-old Solomon Islands baby sends thanks to the Brisbane doctors and nurses who cared for him.

Stephanous (pictured above with his mother Louise) recently returned home after successful treatment in Brisbane for an intra-abdominal teratoma.

Louise expressed her thanks:

“I want to thank the hard-working doctors and nurses and specifically Professor Kimble of the Queensland Children's Hospital who helped us during the surgery and our stay in the hospital...your kind hospitality, effort and expertise have resulted in my son’s successful surgery and recovery.”

“May God bless your gifted hands and may it be always a blessing to every children you touched."

And on behalf of ROMAC,  huge thanks to Sebastian Ilala and the Rotary Club of Honiara for all their help.
