I am fundraising for Operation Walk Ireland . We are a group of Orthopaedic surgeons, Anaesthetists, Nurses, Physiotherapists and support personel who travel to Hanoi in Vietnam and carry out hip and knee replacements free of charge on people who would otherwise not be able to access such surgeries. Many of them are young and severely disabled by their arthritis. We had very successful trips in 2017, 2018, 2019 and carried out 60 to 70 joint replacements on each trip. We were unable to travel between 2020 and 2022 due to the Covid 19 pandemic but went back again in March 2023 and did a further 65 joint replacements We plan to return in March 2024.
All of the Operation Walk group give their time free and pay their own costs. We do have to raise a substantial amount of money to cover additional costs of equipment, drugs, transport etc.
In addition to surgery we are actively involved in teaching and training local orthopaedic surgeons and nurses. Prior to 2017 they were doing approximately 150 joint replacements per year and were not trained in knee replacement surgery. They are now doing over 700 replacements per year and doing knee replacements. In the longer term this will have the greater impact on the local communities. We have also sponsored three orthopaedic surgeons from Hanoi to come to Ireland, to spend time in theatre with the Operation Walk surgeons and also, attend a joint replacement conference.
All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause.
