Early this week 16-year-old Taqwa from the West Bank town of Tubas successfully completed orthopedic surgery at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Spokane, Washington. Taqwa traveled to Washington this month to receive the orthopedic surgery to help correct congenital hip dysplasia, which was not available to her in Palestine. The girl suffered from pain while walking and underwent surgery to correct her deformity. Taqwa was discharged today to continue her recovery at the home of her host family.
