By Danae Netteburg, MD, Deferred Mission Appointee serving at Bere Adventist Hospital in Chad.
Martine once suffered from a ameloblastoma -- a rare tumor on the jaw of that grows near the teeth roots during development.
Through our partnership with Smile Train, Dr. Rhodes, a reconstructive plastic surgeon, was able to remove the tumor from Martine's jaw.
Martine is now enjoying life and her family is so happy!
