Isolated 13 year old gets his first chance at hearing.

Meshach was born deaf.  This morning he had his first chance to see an  ear  doctor (ENT) following an initial appointment and CT scan on Friday.  According to the phycian Dr  Sharma,  a surgery to open his ear canal could improve his hearing on that side to  reach near-normal levels.  He was identified through the SPAN program last year during a RAM  mobile outreach.  It required two long flights, numerous emails and phone calls  with Dr Quaicoe's office, and a separate screening visit to Lethem to get  to this point. Special thanks to Dr Chan of the Lethem Hospital who  personally walked the client through the numerous appointments within and  around the Public Hospital compound on his day off.
