Templin doctor reports: Life-saving help in Peru for those in need!
There is a special event in Cologne on Wednesday, November 5th that should attract many interested people. The Evangelical Church Community is organizing a project report in which the Templin jaw surgeon Dr. Andreas Pöhl reports on his missions in Peru. The evening will begin at 7 p.m. in the parish hall, Martin-Luther-Straße 7. The event is open to anyone who would like to learn more about humanitarian medical aid projects.
Dr. Pöhl, who has been traveling regularly to Peru for 30 years, has made it his mission to help patients with cleft lip, cleft jaw and palate who cannot afford operations in their home country. Again Northern Courier reports, a team of doctors on site is carrying out the urgently necessary procedures. Those interested can also see impressive pictures and videos from Dr. Pöhl's latest mission.
Medical emergency in developing countries
The reason for such humanitarian operations is the appalling conditions in many developing countries. According to that Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Poverty is one of the most common causes of illness and often leads to preventable deaths. Many people are unable to afford medical care, resulting in poor healthcare. In addition, many of those affected are more susceptible to illness due to a lack of access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.
Two billion people worldwide suffered financial stress from out-of-pocket healthcare spending in 2019, and more than 340 million people were pushed into extreme poverty as a result. This alarming situation requires urgent action, not only from a health perspective, but also to combat hunger, poor nutrition and lack of education.
A role model for many
Dr. With his work in Peru, Pöhl is a shining example of how you can bring about real change through personal initiative and commitment. Even if the challenges are great, he shows that each individual can make a difference through targeted local help.
The evening promises not only interesting insights into the medical challenges, but also an opportunity to learn more about the valuable work of doctors in the context of humanitarian aid. Anyone interested in the topics of health and development should not miss this event.
