Thierno Malal Diallo (38 ans), 11 October 2012, Conakry en Guinée
"Five years ago, I felt something on my face. It was growing fast and started to hurt." Thierno reported this after his operation on the Mercy Ship. Before the operation he couldn’t speak and could barely breathe. His tumor was hidden behind a cloth. He was hardly able to walk because he was very weak. Doctors gave him a 50% chance of getting through the operation. A former footballer, Thierno was strong enough to survive the operation and is recovering well.
L’Africa Mercy est un gigantesque hôpital flottant : six salles d’opération, plusieurs salles d’hôpital et suffisamment des cabines pour loger les quelque quatre cents volontaires de l’organisation. Jetant l’ancre dans les ports de plusieurs pays pauvres d’Afrique de l’Ouest, l’Africa Mercy offre aux patients la possibilité de faire soigner gratuitement leurs tumeurs, leurs problèmes oculaires ou leurs maladies de peau. En 2012, le bateau mouillait à Conakry en Guinée. C’est là que Stephan Vanfleteren photographia plusieurs patients sur les quais et dans la salle d’attente.
