Post-tsunami sterilisation reversal in Sri Lanka

A Sri Lankan surgeon today performed the country’s first known post-tsunami sterilisation reversal procedure on a mother whose three children were killed by the December 26 waves.

The event in the southern coastal town of Galle, one of the worst-hit by the disaster, is another sign of how the tsunami-devastated nation is grappling to recover. More than 31,000 people were killed and 1 million affected by the tsunami.
