Surgery for Ruphat and 3 other boys in Cameroon
Cameroon
Children
Meet Ruphat. He has been operated in a non-sterile environment by a local 'doctor'. Now he is unable to urinate without tremendous pain and suffers from fevers due to infections. In Cameroon there are many boys like Ruphat who are being circumcised by non-medical professionals. Circumcision in Cameroon is universally practiced. The pressure to circumcise boys is enormous; to the point that not having any money to go to a hospital for surgery means settling for less, much less.
