Irene has had vital surgery for appendicitis

Appendicitis is particularly dangerous for children in resource-limited settings like Uganda, where delays in diagnosis and treatment are common due to limited access to healthcare, diagnostic tools, and surgeons. These delays increase the risk of appendix rupture, which can lead to serious infections, longer hospital stays, and even death.
