Breaking News! FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital’s First Surgeries Performed

February 20, 2012 was an awesome and milestone day for the FOCOS Hospital.

The first scheduled patient at the FOCOS Hospital underwent a successful bilateral total knee replacement by Drs. Kyle Swanson, Oheneba Boachie-Adjei and Joseph Ogyaadu. All systems functioned excellently, without a hitch.

The two weeks of intense preparation paid off, thanks to all involved. Special thanks goes to FOCOS OR Nurse, Wing-Yee Mazza Chin-Ng, "the whip," for her tenacity and meticulous supervision of the peri-operative processes.

We finally felt at home and lived the long awaited dream we have had for years.

Surgery will continue for the rest of the week, and from there, local surgeons can avail themselves to the state of the art surgical suites.

Thanks to the prayers of many and the support of our benefactors, I believe the best is yet to come.
