Medical nonprofit brings orthopedic marvels to Peru

According to Dr. Harpal Khanuja, Operation Walk Maryland’s medical director, it’s the look in recipients’ eyes and their joy of renewed motion that makes his marathon mission to Peru’s medically underserved so worthwhile.

“I can’t explain how you feel after one of these trips,” Khanuja, a knee and hip specialist at Good Samaritan Hospital and professor of orthopedic surgery at Johns Hopkins University, said of his mid-October trip to Lima. “These people are so appreciative of your skills and time. It’s very rewarding for everybody involved.”
