Set for Life?

Pictured here is a young girl from Potarinau Village upon returning from treatment for an arm fracture in Georgetown. The healed arm shows a dramatic bend between the wrist and elbow.

There must be a good reason that her arm could not be set properly after an expensive emergency flight to the top public institution in the country.

Her name and details have since been recorded for entry into the SPAN database which helps track and serve patients in remote villages suffering from medical anomalies. She was dropped home to her village's home-made airstrip on the way south for another patient.
