Gloucestershire Hospital NHS Foundations Trust has donated orthopaedic equipment
to Mercy Ships, the international charity that provides free medical and humanitarian
care to the people of Africa.

 

The Synthes trauma kit is worth over £100,000 and will help in treating problems
that develop in bones, joints and ligaments of the human body.
