Samoa’s first successful lung transplant patient

Last Saturday morning, Tali’s family and friends came together for a special mass to give thanks and praise to God on the one-year anniversary of her bilateral lung transplant in India.

For 35-year old Tali of Sinamoga and Vaitele, the journey has been one that has drawn her closer to God as she describes her experience as nothing short of a miracle.
Tali and her husband returned home in December last year after spending thirteen months in Chennai, where she received the highest level of medical treatment.
