Heart Surgical Team Makes Overseas Trip A new kind of international goodwill mission has just been completed by Loma Linda University's heart surgeons — the sending of an entire highly specialized team equipped to perform for overseas nations otherwise unavailable surgical services. The seven-man team, headed by the University's Associate Professor of Surgery Ellsworth E. Warehame, M. D., has just returned from a two-month tour of concentrated service in four Asian countries. The surgeons, physicians, and assistants, with a ton of highly specialized surgical equipment, were flown to Southern Asia as a result of arrangements made by Vice President Lyndon Johnson. Newspapers in Pakistan hailed the service of the team as one of the finest things that has happened to American-Pakistan relations since Lyndon Johnson's visit to the strategically located country two years ago. The heart mission came about as a result of requests from parents of children suffering from defective or diseased hearts, asking the United States Embassy in Karachi to provide transportation to the United States for heart surgery. The many requests were sparked by news reports in Pakistan of little three-and-one-half-year-old Afshan Zafar who was flown to Loma Linda University's medical center last fall for heart surgery. Embassy Request Embassy officials requested that a Loma Linda University heart surgery team be flown to the Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in Karachi so that correctiveitan President Mohammad Ayub Khan, who commended them not only for the work done but for the contribution to Pakistan medicine. To secure adequate blood for the many operations it was necessary to conduct an intensive blood donor program. Government agencies participated by assisting in the recruitment of donors and by offering prisoners in Karachi jails fifteen days grace for a pint of blood. Early in its surgical program, heart surgery nurse Lavaun W. Sutton was stricken with appendicitis. She underwent surgery and continued to assist from a wheel chair, giving instructions to native nurses. Visits India Following its mission in Karachi, the team went to the Christian Medical College in Vellore, India, where the team collaborate with Medical College surgeons in performing some difficult forms of heart surgery. The next stop was Bangkok, Thailand, where the team performed a number of open heart surgery cases. The last stop was at the Seventh-day Adventist hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, where more heart surgery was done. In all a total of fifty-six heart surgery operations were performed in precisely two months. At the University's medical center the team usually does three or four such cases a week. The team has received favorable publicity wherever it has gone, and requests for future tours are being considered. University officials see the heart mission tour as a new kind of "peace corps" activity. They point out that this type of mission brings into the service of our nation highly skilled surgery.

Embassy Request Embassy officials requested that a Loma Linda University heart surgery team be flown to the Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in Karachi so that corrective surgery could be performed on those needing it. Loma Linda University surgeons agreed to comply with the Embassy request if transportation for them, their assistants, and equipment could be provided. The Embassy requested the assistance of Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who arranged for the transport through the United States Agency for International Development. While in Karachi the team operated on forty-four cases. In doing so the team established excellent relationships with Pakistan's medical fraternity, as well as with interested government officials. Upon completion of its work the team was honored at a number of receptions. United States Information service arranger for a meeting where members of the team were presented to the public. At this time parents of patients presented team members with some very fine gifts and expressed appreciation both to the team and to Vice President Lyndon Johnson for his part in making the project a possibility. The team was honored by Pakis- Home Redoing Advice Given "Unless you have 'money to burn,' don't expect to do your house over from top to bottom."

University officials see the heart mission tour as a new kind of "peace corps" activity. They point out that this type of mission brings into the service of our nation highly skilled teams not otherwise available. This type of mission combines an independent university with a Government agency in the performance of a valuable international service at relatively modest cost to both Government and university. Loma Linda University's School of Medicine, one of the largest in the West, has for many years given considerable emphasis to international medicine. As a result of this more physicians from its School of Medicine have served overseas than from any other school of medicine in the United States. The heart mission just completed is seen, therefore, as being compatible with both the School's philosophy and experience. I've Got News! Where you have your car washed DOES make a difference!
