Saved at the very last moment

Today, eighteen-year-old Joan was admitted to Katondwe Mission Hospital.

Joan is another person injured as a result of attack by the wild animals. In this case, a crocodile attacked this young woman while she was taking water from the Luangwa river.

Joan was very lucky, as when the crocodile caught her left leg, few men heard her scream and immediately rushed to help her. After the successful rescue, one of the men carried Joan to Katondwe Mission Hospital on his back.
