Description:
A boy who had life-changing leg surgery as a toddler has returned to the same hospital a decade on - and wants to become a doctor himself.<br/><br/>Romino, 12, developed bowed legs in his early childhood which stopped him from walking properly.<br/><br/>Doctors in his home in Toamasina, Madagascar, suggested leg massages to fix the issue - but nothing seemed to work.<br/><br/>In 2015, when Romino was aged just three, his mum, Claudia, grew concerned and brought her son onto Mercy Ships charity hospital ship, called Africa Mercy, while it was docked nearby.<br/><br/>Doctors on board performed a life-changing surgery for the little lad, so he could grow up running, walking and playing football with his friends.<br/><br/>This year, Africa Mercy returned to Madagascar - and Romino stepped on board again, in an emotional return.
