Brisbane medics give Ayan a second chance


Dr. Adna Aden Ismail
by Rebecca Armstrong
Ayan Osman Mohamad was two years old when she was shot in the face in war torn Somalia
Doctors saved her but the right side of her face was disfigured and she could no longer close her right eye properly.
She lived like that for 23 years, her face hidden beneath a veil.
Now a medical team at the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane has performed marathon surgery to rebuild her shattered face.
Edna Adan Ismail is the former foreign minister of Somaliland who brought Ayan here for the operation.
