Talk with Prof. Dr. Aung about his mission in Uganda

Due to poor hygiene and a lack of specialist knowledge, diseases whose symptoms are actually easy to treat are often not even recognized. Lymphedema, for example, is a painful accumulation of fluid around a defective lymph node. Those affected suffer greatly, even though the fluid could be drained well with the right know-how. That is why Prof. Dr. Aung spent two weeks in Uganda. He treated people in the African country and trained staff at the same time. He talks to us about this humanitarian mission.

Free help – THD professor operates on a patient with lymphatic disease from Uganda

Basic medical care is in short supply in many African countries. The professor of surgical medicine at THD, Prof. Dr. med. Thiha Aung, can confirm this. He has already been to several African countries to take part in numerous humanitarian missions. From these missions he knows that it is impossible to perform major operations on site. The result: patients often live for decades with their untreated, often not even diagnosed diseases. This is exactly what happened to a 28-year-old woman from Uganda. Now, however, she could be helped after all.
