Zoila is a 52-year-old woman from Guatamala. She was helped in the past by Watsi donors, who supported her through a near-brush with cervical cancer!

An episode of acute gallbladder inflammation has escalated into a situation where her gallbladder needs to be removed. This potentially life-threatening situation needs a quick response.

Zoila received surgery to remove her gallbladder.
