A pacemaker is a small device that is inserted into the chest to help control the heartbeat and stop it from beating too slowly.

This ground-breaking operation has never been carried out before in The Gambia. Until now, all cases of this kind have been referred for treatment in other countries.

The hospital expressed its thanks to Dr. Li and his staff. Prof. Basil N. Okeahialam, a consultant cardiologist and post-graduate medical trainer, and members of the local EFSTH staff also observed the procedure.
