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.
Romino, 12, developed bowed legs in his early childhood which stopped him from walking properly.
Doctors in his home in Toamasina, Madagascar, suggested leg massages to fix the issue - but nothing seemed to work.
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.
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.
This year, Africa Mercy returned to Madagascar - and Romino stepped on board again, in an emotional return.
