Israeli Doctors in Africa Treat Obama's Grandmother
(Times of Israel) Adiv Sterman - President Barack Obama's step-grandmother Sarah Onyango Obama, the president's father's third wife, who lives in the Kenyan village of Nyang'oma Kogelo, underwent emergency eye surgery in an Israeli-run hospital in Equatorial Guinea last week. The procedure was successful and Obama is making a full recovery, Yediot Ahronot reported on Sunday. "All of Africa is talking about your hospital and of the fact that you don't need to fly to Europe to get medical treatment," said Obama following her operation. The Shalom Hospital, located in the Guinean capital city of Malabo, is serviced by over 100 Israeli doctors, nurses and staff, providing medical treatment for underprivileged residents of Equatorial Guinea and other neighboring African countries.
